Chapter 725: Chapter 724 My Opportunity for Sanctification Has Come
 

Qin Changqing had just dealt with the clone of the Jiuyou Demon Lord when he suddenly reached out and grabbed toward the depths of the Devil Immortal Realm.

There, the true body of the Jiuyou Demon Lord turned pale with fright.

He watched, wide-eyed, as Qin Changqing’s hand closed in. He wanted to flee, but it was already too late.

“Don’t even think of defeating me!”

The Jiuyou Demon Lord let out a thunderous roar of rage, his power reaching its peak as he launched his strongest attack.

Then, this most powerful strike was easily shattered by Qin Changqing.

Just as Qin Changqing’s attack was about to engulf the Jiuyou Demon Lord, suddenly, a figure dashed forward.

In the hands of this figure, a Holy Weapon emitted a world-shaking might as it met Qin Changqing’s move.

“Demon Saint!”

The many powerful Demon Immortals cheered, as this was indeed a Demon Saint.

Even though it wasn’t the Demon Saint himself but just a trace of his thoughts, the other held a Holy Weapon in hand.

The might was no less than that of a Saint.

This Saint’s thought was truly terrifying.

It blocked Qin Changqing’s giant hand in an instant.

After being blocked, Qin Changqing’s expression remained unchanged. He casually tossed his hand and a huge Mirror instantly enlarged, reflecting the entire Devil Immortal Realm within it as if it were all captured inside the Mirror.

The next second, the Mirror burst forth with an incredibly dazzling light.

Although the Saint’s thought reacted promptly, it still shattered in an instant under the enveloping light and then dissipated without a trace.

Qin Changqing had actually destroyed the Demon Saint’s thought with a single strike.

The Jiuyou Demon Lord’s face paled with terror as Qin Changqing’s attack came again.

“I surrender!”

At the brink of life and death, the Jiuyou Demon Lord trembled as he roared out the words.

Qin Changqing stopped.

Cold sweat streamed down the Jiuyou Demon Lord’s face.

Beside him, another Quasi-Saint also felt a shiver in his heart.

Qin Changqing’s combat power was simply too formidable.

He hadn’t even become a Saint yet, but his combat power was already comparable to that of a Saint.

In fact, he seemed even more terrifying than a Saint.

If he were to become a Saint… just how powerful would he be!

He dared not even imagine!

At that moment, Qin Changqing’s gaze turned toward him.

His body shuddered.

“I surrender!”

This fellow also caved in.

Demon Immortals are different from Immortals in that most of them are capable of bending or standing tall.

Seeing how formidable Qin Changqing was, continuing to fight would only result in their loss.

So, one by one, they could only choose to yield for the moment.

As for the rest… they would wait for the Demon Saint to return and settle it then.

The Demon Saint’s thought, after all, was not the same as the Demon Saint himself.

They refused to believe that Qin Changqing could actually defeat a Saint.

No matter how strong a Quasi-Saint might be, he was still a Quasi-Saint.

Below a Saint, all were mere ants; this phrase was not merely an empty saying.

The difference between being a Saint and not being one was not merely colossal.

However.

These Demon Immortals soon realized that surrendering was not so simple.

Every Demon Immortal above the level of Semi-Saint paid Qin Changqing compensation amounting to tens of billions of Immortal Stones.

These guys were not only beaten but also had to pay a hefty compensation.

And that wasn’t all.

Qin Changqing also started to capture beautiful Demon Immortals throughout the Devil Immortal Realm with abandon.

For a time, the entire Devil Immortal Realm was trembling under Qin Changqing’s oppressive power.

“You’ve taken care of the Devil Immortal Realm so quickly, aren’t you afraid the Demon Saint will come back to settle the score?”

The voice of the Ancient Emperor rose within the Devil Immortal Realm.

She had returned to the Devil Immortal Realm once again.

Qin Changqing said indifferently, “It’s no bother.”

“Daddy is so awesome!”

At that moment, the voices of the two sisters chimed in.

Seeing such a vast Devil Immortal Realm completely subdued by Qin Changqing, they were filled with immense admiration for their father, Qin Changqing.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years went by.

Qin Changqing was approaching his million-year lifespan.

He was, in essence, only a paper’s thickness away from becoming a Saint.

All the preparatory work before ascending to Saint was already completed.

However, Qin Changqing had not yet rushed to ascend.

He needed to accumulate more Dao-comprehension energy to avoid all uncertainty.

His Dao was too powerful, which entailed greater risks.

In fact, speaking purely of cultivation levels, the rewards Qin Changqing had accrued over tens of thousands of years were enough for him to become a Saint.

The issue was the risk.

Just like during Tribulation Passing Stage, one crisis could cause the tribulation energy to instantly drop by half.

The same was true now.

Especially during the process of Dao Integration.

The risks involved were considerable.

A single occurrence, and the Dao-comprehension energy could be drained in an instant.

Therefore, Qin Changqing intended to gather more Dao-comprehension energy to succeed in one go.

He also wanted to avoid all variables.

As for time.

A little more, a little less, it didn’t matter.

If a million years wasn’t secure enough, then Qin Changqing was prepared to wait another million years, or even longer if necessary.

For Qin Changqing, stability was everything.

As for taking risks… unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Changqing was not inclined to do so.

After several more tens of thousands of years, the Ancient Emperor and the two sisters had spent quite some time in the Devil Immortal Realm before leaving it.

This time, they came to the Immortal World.

“It’s been remodeled quite nicely.”

In Divine Continent Heaven, the Ancient Emperor surveyed the entirety of the Divine Continent Heaven.

Then, she was swept into an embrace by Qin Changqing…

The face of the Ancient Emperor flushed instantly.

But she could only let Qin Changqing carry her into the room.

After staying in the Immortal World for tens of thousands of years again, the Ancient Emperor left once more.

She took the two sisters and entered the Chaos Sea again.

This time, she intended to delve deeper into the Chaos Sea.

The Chaos Sea was vast, truly boundless even for Saints.

After the Ancient Emperor left, Qin Changqing continued to develop silently.

In the Monster Immortal Realm and the Devil Immortal Realm, his offspring kept increasing in number.

This also led to a continual increase in the Reciprocal Feeding Qin Changqing received.

In the Devil Immortal Realm, the Jiuyou Demon Lord lay deeply hidden, behaving as if he would allow Qin Changqing to do as he pleased in the Devil Immortal Realm.

Other Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints also went into hiding.

After Youyue successfully became a Great Luo and was miserably dealt with by Qin Changqing, the Sky Demon Clan had no choice but to present a congratulatory gift.

These fellows were also miserable.

Having been fleeced and reprimanded, they even had to offer an apology.

They must have tasted the bitterness in their hearts.

Qin Changqing didn’t concern himself too much with these Demon Immortals.

He occupied a place in the Devil Immortal Realm similar to the Ten Layers of the Immortal Realm, naming it Nether Heaven, where he settled his women from the Devil Immortal Realm.

The Great Array inside had been strengthened by Qin Changqing, so even in his absence, it wouldn’t be easy for a Quasi-Saint to breach it.

Qin Changqing’s arrival, however, would be swift.

When there were fifty thousand years left until Qin Changqing’s million-year lifespan, he felt that he should be able to ascend to Saint.

“Let’s wait a few more tens of thousands of years,” Qin Changqing thought.

He planned to ascend to Saint when the million years were fulfilled.

At that time, the Flowers Celestial Master emerged from seclusion.

This time she had spent several hundred thousand years integrating her Dao.

“Celestial Master.”

Haven’t seen the Flowers Celestial Master for hundreds of thousands of years, her appearance hadn’t changed much.

Perhaps because she had just finished her Dao Integration, she felt somewhat unfamiliar to Qin Changqing.

This sense of indifference was quite normal.

Sometimes, after Qin Changqing had spent a few thousand years in Dao Integration, he would also give off such an impression.

“Qing, my opportunity to become a Saint has arrived, but unfortunately, I always feel that something is lacking,” said the Flowers Celestial Master.
