Chapter 593: Chapter 588: Crush Bones and Scatter Ashes Leaving No Trace

The Chaotic Sky Map, being an Ancient Immortal Artifact, originally wasn’t so easily bound to a master, let alone bound to a member of the Demon Clan such as the Swallowing Sky Toad.

It was just that this artifact suffered severe damage during the ancient calamity and, many years after the Artifact Spirit perished, it had only managed to recover a fraction of its Spiritual Intelligence. To make matters worse, this intelligence was subdued by the black-robed man, unable to act freely.

Constantly exposed to Demonic Qi refining, the artifact naturally felt a great crisis looming, therefore, desperately seeking a cure, it barely examined the Space Law emanating from the Swallowing Sky Toad before choosing to recognize it as its master.

Of course, without the Artifact Spirit, it no longer had the capability to discern carefully. If it wanted to avoid being refined by the Demon Cultivator, seeking refuge with the Swallowing Sky Toad was its best option, for, apart from the Black Robed Demon Cultivator and the Swallowing Sky Toad, no other life forms had ever entered the core area of the prohibition; under the oppressed Spiritual Intelligence, choosing anyone else was impossible.

The Swallowing Sky Toad, having spent years by Qin Feng’s side, hadn’t learned nothing. Qin Feng had often kept it close, allowing it to learn from his actions unknowingly, shedding its naive demeanor from its younger days and picking up some cunning.

Thus, when it sensed the desire within the Chaotic Sky Map’s Spiritual Intelligence to break free from the Demon Cultivator’s binds, it immediately released fluctuations of its own Space Law, enticing the fragment of Spiritual Intelligence and thereby gaining recognition as the master of the Chaotic Sky Map.

With the cooperation of that Spiritual Intelligence, the Swallowing Sky Toad swiftly took initial control of the numerous prohibitions within the Chaotic Sky Map, expelling the imprints left by the Demon Cultivator.

It was because of this that Qin Feng could so easily enter the central area and set foot on this piece of land.

As Qin Feng held the Swallowing Sky Toad in his hands and was praising it, the figure of the black-robed man shifted, successively employing various Escape Techniques, trying again to step onto that land.

The space outside was far too dangerous, always having to guard against the chaotic flows of the void and sudden appearing space cracks, nowhere near as safe as on land.

More importantly, only by stepping onto that land and entering the palace could he kill Qin Feng and the troublesome green-skinned toad, and then regain control of the Chaotic Sky Map.

Otherwise, truly losing the Chaotic Sky Map was tantamount to losing the best hiding place. With his current wandering state, sooner or later, he would be found and killed by the Righteous Path Cultivators.

Besides the Chaotic Sky Map, his Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle was tightly entangled by Qin Feng’s Karma Fire Red Lotus. Even his subordinates’ Corpse Puppets fell into the chaotic flows of the void; if it weren’t for their robust bodies, they might have already been torn apart by space cracks.

Keeping the Corpse Puppets here was also not a solution, as with time their endurance of the ceaseless chaotic flows would fail, eventually incurring damage, which he found too heartbreaking to consider.

Moreover, although the Space Escape Divine Shuttle continuously struggled, under his manipulation, it would be able to break free from the Karma Fire Red Lotus in the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea, but he feared an accident might happen.

Should the young man from the Beast Taming Sect let that Spiritual Toad manipulate the prohibitions and expel him from the Chaotic Sky Map, then he would lose everything.

The strongest war capabilities of his Corpse Puppets, the fastest fleeing Immortal Magical Treasure–the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle, the best hiding place–the Chaotic Sky Map. Losing any of these was too painful to bear!

Even though he still possessed many treasures, losing these invaluable possessions would leave him like a tiger without claws, unable to escape the pursuit of Righteous Path Cultivators with just his cultivation and the relatively ordinary treasures.

Thus, the figure of the black-robed man continuously changed, deploying various escape techniques, sometimes turning into illusions, sometimes splitting into nine forms, sometimes transforming into smoke, sometimes like a long rainbow. The variety of bizarre escape methods earned inner praise from Qin Feng.

But even if the Black Robed Demon Cultivator used every trick in the book, he couldn’t get close to that piece of land.

The Swallowing Sky Toad wasn’t stupid; knowing it couldn’t let him get close and having Qin Feng’s instruction, no matter how fast the man was or how skillful his maneuvers, there were always chaotic flows appearing in front of him.

Even as the black-robed man turned into a red long rainbow at an incredible speed, trying to rush onto that land, wide space cracks directly appeared in front of him, forcing him to stop his escape techniques lest he dashed into the space cracks.

This situation made the black-robed man increasingly anxious. His hand manipulating spells continuously, he launched attacks at Qin Feng with Demon Path spells while simultaneously releasing various Demon Path Treasures from his Storage Bag, attempting to disturb Qin Feng and the Swallowing Sky Toad’s actions, disordering their control over the Chaotic Sky Map, possibly even taking advantage of the intense fight to make Qin Feng forget to expel him.

Once the Chaotic Sky Map was cloaked in the void, even a Dharma Protector Vajra of Buddhism who had achieved Manas could not locate its trace, let alone a Primordial Spirit Realm Demon Cultivator like him. If Qin Feng maneuvered the Chaotic Sky Map away from this area, even setting an ambush outside would be futile.

In truth, he was overly concerned because Qin Feng had never intended to let this person go.

A Demon Cultivator at the level of the Primordial Spirit Realm was already extremely formidable; if he allowed this rascal to escape, who knows how much slaughter he would commit. Now that this guy was trapped in the void domain of the Chaotic Sky Map, Qin Feng certainly wouldn’t easily let him go.

When outside, the Chaotic Sky Map merely covered a hundred-mile radius, but inside, its space spanned tens of thousands of miles, vast and boundless. Additionally, given the unique material and powerful prohibitions of the Chaotic Sky Map–even if somewhat damaged–no existence at the level of the Primordial Spirit Realm could break through the prohibitions and forcibly escape. Therefore, Qin Feng planned to completely detain this Demon Cultivator here.

Originally, with his ability, he couldn’t have managed this feat, but with the Swallowing Sky Toad manipulating the Chaotic Sky Map, it was a different story.

Under Qin Feng’s command, the Swallowing Sky Toad brought over the Hellhound, Life Tree, and other Spiritual Beasts, preparing to join forces and kill the Black Robed Demon Cultivator.

As for the Corpse Puppets under the command of the Black Robed Demon Cultivator, they were all expelled by the Swallowing Sky Toad, manipulating the prohibitions to the farthest reaches of the internal space of the Chaotic Sky Map.

The Spiritual Beasts like the Hellhound willingly let their defenses down allowing the Swallowing Sky Toad to bring them over, but the Corpse Puppets were much stronger, including two mighty existences at the level of the Primordial Spirit Realm. With the current power of the Swallowing Sky Toad, he was originally incapable of accomplishing this step.

But the greatest weakness of Corpse Puppets lies in their lack of spiritual intelligence; without manipulation, they don’t even know to resist. The Swallowing Sky Toad took advantage of the moment when the Black Robed Demon Cultivator was shocked by the Chaotic Sky Map changing hands and secretly tampered with things, which was how he easily moved those Corpse Puppets away.

Upon realizing this, the Black Robed Demon Cultivator could only lament his bad luck, as it was just a moment too late to gather his forces for a short-term effort.

Under his frustration, the Black Robed Demon Cultivator roared and then summoned a huge, pitch-black Demon Palm, furiously swinging it towards Qin Feng.

This palm was ferociously strong, shaking apart the chaotic spatial currents as if to crush the land itself.

Of course, this was just an illusion; not to mention that this was the core area of the Chaotic Sky Map, heavily laden with prohibitions, and the palace alone could withstand the attacks of ordinary Heavenly Immortals. Such a potent Treasure was not something a Primordial Spirit Realm Demon Cultivator could break!

Thus, even though the pitch-black Demon Palm indeed pushed through the chaotic spatial currents and space cracks, it still couldn’t hurt Qin Feng and was blocked by a light brown Spirit Light Shield rising from the great hall.

The enormous Demon Palm slammed into the Spirit Light Shield, only to cause gentle ripples before being dispersed by the rebound force of the shield.

Immediately afterward, before the Black Robed Demon Cultivator could perform other Demon Path Divine Powers, Hellhounds and other Spiritual Beasts roared in unison, aligning neatly in front of Qin Feng and launching various potent spells at the Demon Cultivator.

Their spells, unaffected by the chaotic spatial currents, easily reached right in front of the Black Robed Demon Cultivator.

On the contrary, as the Black Robed Demon Cultivator retaliated with his spells, he had to face not only the onslaught from numerous Spiritual Beasts but also deal with omnipresent chaotic currents and space cracks, which made even his formidable power feel exceedingly troubled.

Moreover, being in the Chaotic Sky Map meant he had no place to hide or escape; the Swallowing Sky Toad could relocate Hellhounds and other Spiritual Beasts near him to surround and attack at any moment.

This was something the Black Robed Demon Cultivator understood very well since he had once controlled the Chaotic Sky Map and used this exact strategy against Righteous Path Cultivators.

But now, the wheel of karma had turned, and it was his turn to taste this situation.

Knowing that continuing this way was no solution, the Black Robed Demon Cultivator, while resisting various spells from the numerous Spiritual Beasts, moved through the void, attempting to find an opportunity to forcefully break through to the land beneath.

Because he knew that was where the only flaw in the Chaotic Sky Map lay; during the Ancient Great Tribulation, an Outer Great Power had damaged the map, and the breach was located there. If he really couldn’t break into the palace, fleeing through the yet-to-be fully repaired crack of the Chaotic Sky Map would also suffice.

Even if he lost his strongest means and later faced the encirclement of Righteous Path Cultivators and struggled immensely, it was much better than being trapped and dying here!

However, his thoughts were quickly noticed by Qin Feng, who then instructed the Swallowing Sky Toad to manipulate the prohibitions of the Chaotic Sky Map and violently sink the palace along with the land below, directly situating it over the crack, sealing the gap.

Unless the opponent could lift this land, escape was absolutely impossible; eventually, the Black Robed Demon Cultivator would be worn down to death by the Spiritual Beasts under Qin Feng’s command due to magic power exhaustion.

In fact, this was what Qin Feng did; his underling Spiritual Beasts relentlessly used various high-powered spells and Divine Powers. Every time their power was halved, Qin Feng would recall them into the Demon Refining Pot, where the vast and majestic Pure Spirit Qi inside replenished their energy, quickly restoring their strength for continuous combat, giving the Demon Cultivator no respite.

Outside, Long Qian, the most powerful Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Sect’s Spiritual Snake Lineage, had a peculiar look on his face.

His eyes, transformed into slit pupils, hid a spiritual light but could roughly clarify the battle situation inside the Chaotic Sky Map through layers of the void.

The more he watched, the stranger his expression became.

It wasn’t until his eyes swelled that he realized he had been using his Spiritual Eye Divine Power for too long and hurriedly deactivated the Divine Power to rest his eyes for a moment.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer watching the battle.

He felt that at this point, there was no need to continue watching.

Indeed, the Demon Cultivator possessed a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivation and was far more formidable than Qin Feng, but without the right timing and location and even without his Corpse Puppets to assist in the battle, he could only struggle desperately.

Though the Demon Cultivator possessed profound cultivation and lasting battle strength, his internal Magic Power couldn’t be replenished. With Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts consistently restored to peak condition and maintaining the exhausting fight, he would eventually be depleted of all power.

However, the duration the Demon Cultivator persisted was somewhat beyond Qin Feng’s expectations. He and his Spiritual Beasts besieged the Demon Cultivator for a full seven days before he finally lost all resistance.

At that point, no matter how the Demon Cultivator begged for mercy or cursed, he couldn’t avoid death!

First, he was burned of his Qi Fortune by the Death Curse Crow’s Curse Flame, followed by the Ghost-Faced Spider’s Soul Burning Demon Fire destroying his Primordial Spirit Soul, then burned to ash by the Undying Qingluan’s Pure Yang Flame, and finally cleansed completely by the White Dragon’s Holy Flame, leaving not even a trace of ashes!
