Chapter 271 Soul-Eating Void Beast
While everyone was still dumbfounded...
The younger brother, whose cheeks were already red and swollen from being slapped, looked at his older brother with disbelief and a wronged expression.
His entire face was swollen like a pig's head, and a trickle of blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth. His appearance was horribly gruesome!
He looked aggrieved and asked in a slightly tearful voice, "Um...brother...why...why did you...hit me..."
Because of the swelling in her cheeks, even her voice became somewhat slurred.
Upon hearing this, the man actually cursed out loud!
"I hit you!"
"How many times have you caused trouble because of your family background?!"
"That's fine, but do you even know who you've messed with this time?!"
"Who...who is it?" the man's younger brother asked blankly, his expression somewhat dazed.
"Hmph!" the man sneered, "You've offended the number one person in the Life Sea Realm on the entire Fengtian Continent!"
"Even the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land was defeated by him."
Do you think you're qualified to mess with him?
"To tell you the truth, even if Fellow Daoist Lin killed you, your family wouldn't step in to avenge you."
"Would you believe it?"
Upon hearing this, all around fell silent!
After a while...
"I remembered!"
"Lin Que of the Qingyun Sect, isn't he the champion of this year's Righteous and Demonic Competition?!"
"Hi~!"
"It really is him! Oh my goodness!"
"Even the Primordial Saint Son, who was known as the number one genius of the Sealed Heaven Continent, was no match for him, causing his position to change hands."
"No wonder that man was so angry. If it were me, I probably would have hit him even harder!"
"..."
A gasp erupted from the surrounding crowd!
Everyone suddenly remembered the name that had spread throughout the entire Fengtian Continent not long ago; they never expected that the real person would be standing right in front of them.
At this point, everyone looked at Lin Que with awe!
Even Lin Que, who is usually so natural and easygoing, became somewhat restrained and nervous at this moment.
"Uh... Am I that famous?" Lin Que scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Lin Que himself probably didn't expect that the news of the Great Competition between the Righteous and the Demonic would spread so quickly, reaching the entire Fengtian Continent in just a few days.
The members of the Qingyun Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
At this moment, the man said to Lin Que again, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I am truly sorry, my younger brother has caused you trouble."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Haotian."
"My good-for-nothing younger brother is named Qin Haoyu."
"My younger brother has offended me in the past. I hope Fellow Daoist Lin and all the fellow Daoists of Qingyun Sect will forgive him."
Qin Haotian's tone was extremely sincere, which made Lin Que and the others feel very comfortable.
This person is clearly very strong, but he doesn't have an arrogant attitude at all. On the contrary, he even helped his younger brother apologize to everyone. His character is beyond reproach.
Although it's unclear whether his feigned respect was due to Lin Que's current status, there's really nothing wrong with it.
Lin Que responded with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you're too kind. Anyway, your brother didn't cause us any loss."
"He was punished for it, and the matter was dropped."
"I suggest you discipline him more, since he often uses your family's influence to cause trouble outside."
"You never know when something might happen."
Upon hearing this, Qin Haotian also laughed, and the extremely oppressive aura emanating from him had completely vanished.
He nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice and understanding, Fellow Daoist Lin. When I return, I will definitely instruct the elders of my clan to discipline him properly."
After saying that, Qin Haotian turned to look at Qin Haoyu, whose cheek was red and swollen, and said angrily, "Hurry up and apologize to Fellow Daoist Lin!"
"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lin showing mercy, you would have disappeared from this world long ago."
Upon hearing his brother's angry words, Qin Haoyu immediately sprang to his senses!
He quickly said to Lin Que and the others, "I'm so sorry, I've caused you trouble."
"I have offended you all so much, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, his actions exaggerated and comical.
Even his two henchmen came up behind him at this moment and did the same thing.
Lin Que glanced at Li Muxue and the others, since Qin Haoyu had really offended the three of them, so Lin Que gave them a look and asked.
Fortunately, Li Muxue and the others didn't take it too seriously and just gave each other a casual glance.
Seeing this, Lin Que understood what she meant and said to Qin Haoyu, who was waving his hand, "Let bygones be bygones. Just be careful in the future."
Upon hearing this, Qin Haoyu and his two followers were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly!
This left Lin Que speechless once again.
Fortunately, Qin Haotian noticed the change in Lin Que's expression and stopped Qin Haoyu from acting.
Immediately afterward, Qin Haotian said to Lin Que and the others, "Now that the conflict has been resolved, we will not disturb you any longer."
After saying that, Qin Haotian headed toward the Enlightenment Stone, seemingly wanting to continue seeking some opportunities.
But just as he was about to leave, Lin Que's voice rang out.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you wish to continue your enlightenment?"
"However, I advise you to wait and see how things develop."
Upon hearing this, Qin Haotian immediately stopped taking a step and asked curiously, "What makes you say that, Fellow Daoist Lin?"
Is something wrong?
"After all, the opportunity is right in front of us, and time waits for no one."
Lin Que looked at the enormous Enlightenment Stone and shook his head, saying, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this Enlightenment Stone is a little strange."
"But I can't really explain why."
"I only reminded Fellow Daoist Qin out of kindness because I trust my own self-awareness."
After hearing this, Qin Haotian fell silent for a moment...
"Since it's what Fellow Daoist Lin said," Qin Haotian said, as if he had made up his mind, "regardless of whether it's your own conscience or not, I, Qin Haotian, am willing to believe you this once!"
"Perhaps I was wrong in the end." Seeing this, Lin Que nodded and said, "Please don't blame me then, Fellow Daoist Qin."
Qin Haotian waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Thus, Qin Haotian and his two brothers stood aside and watched, much to the surprise of the others in the Qingyun Sect.
In particular, Feng Wudao, who was a little anxious just now, saw that even someone as strong as him chose to believe Lin Que, so he had no reason not to believe his junior brother.
Therefore, he also abandoned his previous idea and waited with Lin Que to see how things would develop.
And so do others.
However, as time went by, more and more people came to the Enlightenment Stone, and more and more people meditated to attain enlightenment.
And everyone's face showed a look of delighted enjoyment.
An hour later, Qin Haotian, like Lin Que, stood aside and watched.
His younger brother, however, couldn't contain himself any longer and said in a slightly anxious tone, "Brother, you've been waiting for so long and nothing's happened. Why don't we go and try to comprehend the Dao too?"
"If we're too late, the opportunity may be gone!"
Unfortunately, Qin Haotian remained unmoved and insisted on his own ideas.
Actually, it wasn't just his younger brother; Feng Wudao and Ning Ziyan were also starting to feel restless, while Li Muxue was a bit better off.
Chen Jiuge, like the Liu brothers, was completely indifferent.
Qu Lingyi, on the other hand, had no concept of opportunity. Her physique did not require the assistance of the Enlightenment Stone, so she simply let things take their natural course, which made her appear calm and composed.
"Could I have guessed wrong...?"
Lin Que raised his head again and looked at the enormous Enlightenment Stone, which seemed to blot out the sky.
After a while...
"Sigh!" Lin Que sighed and said, "Everyone, perhaps I really guessed wrong, otherwise..."
Lin Que had not finished speaking.
suddenly!
"what!"
"what!!"
"what!!!"
At that moment, screams of agony rang out!
The expressions of Lin Que and his group, as well as Qin Haotian and his group, became extremely solemn at this moment!
They saw that the faces of the cultivators who had just been meditating, looking extremely absorbed, had now become distorted.
And it let out a painful scream!
Screams echoed through the crimson void, terrifying some cultivators who had not yet entered a meditative state!
They all left this place.
Even some cultivators who were still heading towards the hill stopped in their tracks, not daring to go any further.
"What...what...what's going on?"
Qin Haoyu's body trembled as he stared at the scene with terror on his face.
But the next moment!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A tremor came from beneath everyone's feet, causing Lin Que and the others to frown.
"An earthquake?" Lin Que looked down at the ground, muttering to himself, "But it doesn't seem like it... Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Lin Que immediately raised his head and stared at the enormous Enlightenment Stone with wide, round eyes!
But in that instant, Lin Que's pupils constricted violently!
As small as a pinhole!
"Run!!!"
A loud shout instantly came from Lin Que's mouth!
Upon hearing this shout, everyone followed Lin Que and rushed down the hill at top speed, using all their strength to get as far away from the hill as possible.
Even Qin Haotian was the same.
Upon hearing Lin Que's shout, he immediately grabbed his younger brother and rushed down the hill.
After a while…
Once everyone had moved away from the hill and reached a safe area, Lin Que immediately turned around and looked back at the hill.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Que witnessed a scene that he would never forget!
Around the enormous Enlightenment Stone, the group of cultivators who were meditating suddenly emitted silvery-white, transparent, soul-like substances that floated towards the Enlightenment Stone.
Furthermore, with each unit of absorption, the massive boulder trembled incessantly, causing the surrounding area to vibrate.
"What...what are those silvery-white things?!"
"Is it the three souls and seven spirits?!"
The crowd around Lin Que watched this scene with expressions of horror.
But no one could give him the answers to any of this.
No one knew anything about this, including the members of the Qingyun Sect and Qin Haotian.
What is happening right now is like a mystery, extremely bizarre!
But there was one thing they knew: what was happening before their eyes was definitely not some kind of enlightenment opportunity!
Just as everyone was filled with fear and confusion, the shaking speed of the Enlightenment Stone suddenly became faster and faster.
Faster and faster...
suddenly!
"boom!"
A deafening roar echoed across the entire red land.
This caused a tremor, as if an earthquake, to run through the ground beneath everyone's feet!
At that moment, the enormous Enlightenment Stone exploded!
Countless pebbles flew through the void, shooting in all directions, creating deep craters on the ground they hit, and even the trees in the dilapidated forest were knocked down by the pebbles.
Next!
"Roar!!!"
A roar came from the hilltop!
Where the Enlightenment Stone had originally stood, a colossal black creature had appeared!
Its appearance is very strange, with a long nose and two pairs of fan-shaped ears!
Beneath its dark body are four pairs of animal feet like ox hooves, and a pair of dark gray eyes are scanning its surroundings.
"How could this be... How could there be an enormous, ferocious beast inside the Enlightenment Stone?!"
"What kind of ferocious beast is this?!"
"Why have we never seen anything like this before? There's absolutely no historical record of it!!!"
"..."
Countless screams of terror rose up as people stared at the creature, bewildered and helpless.
But then, to everyone's horror, they saw that the group of cultivators who had been meditating and comprehending the Dao had all fallen at the feet of that ferocious beast!
died!
The cultivators who were meditating and seeking enlightenment have all died!
Their corpses were scattered all over the hill, but in front of that ferocious beast, they were as insignificant as dead ants.
"Damn it!"
"It's actually a Soul-Eating Void Beast!!!"
"How could this be?! How could a Soul-Eating Void Beast appear here?!"
While everyone was still in shock and fear, Feng Jiuyou, who was standing on Lin Que's shoulder, suddenly screamed!
The scream immediately drew everyone's attention.
Including Qin Haotian and his group.
Qin Haotian stared at Feng Jiuyou in shock. This bird could actually talk!
At first, Qin Haotian thought the bird was just Lin Que's spirit pet and didn't pay any attention to it.
But as things stand now, it's not that simple.
"Idiot, what did you say?" Ignoring the stares of others, Lin Que hurriedly asked Feng Jiuyou, "Soul-Eating Void Beast, are you referring to the name of this ferocious beast?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuyou nodded and said, "That's right!"
"But I must correct you on one point, kid. This beast is not some ferocious beast, but a 'phantom beast' that is even more terrifying than a 'ferocious beast'!"
"In my inherited memories, this ethereal beast is called: Soul-Eating Void Beast!"
"Fortunately, the Soul-Eating Void Beast in front of us is still in its infancy and its attack power is not too strong, so let's run away quickly!"
Wha…what?!
Everyone was stunned and speechless upon hearing Feng Jiuyou's words!
Early childhood?!
This incredibly large creature is still only in its juvenile stage?!
If it were during adulthood, how terrifying would that be!
Lin Que, in particular, was completely stunned after hearing Feng Jiuyou's words!
This is because he had seen Qingyuan's true form.
The true form of the Azure Kite is enormous enough; when it spreads its wings, it blots out the sky.
But right now!
Qingyuan's true form was only about the same size as the Soul-Eating Void Beast in front of her, which was still in its infancy.
