Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 110 Double Crisis

Qin Feng, Jasmine, Lin Qing, and Ye Lan were searching for Starstones in the mysterious valley, knowing they were key to defeating the soon-to-be-born demon realm's powerful being, Qingtian. Having just defeated a guardian beast, a deep roar suddenly echoed from ahead, its sound carrying boundless majesty and oppression, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Startled, they immediately stopped and warily watched what lay ahead. A colossal guardian beast slowly emerged from the mist, its body as tall as a mountain, radiating intense flames; each step it took distorted the surrounding air.

This guardian beast resembled a Qilin, but possessed nine thick tails, each shimmering with mysterious runes that emitted an eerie light, as if whispering an ancient curse. Its eyes, like two enormous rubies, gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, fixed intently on Qin Feng and the others.

"What kind of monster is this? How can it be so powerful?" Jasmine's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes. She clung tightly to Qin Feng, secretly gathering microscopic energy in her hands, ready to deal with any possible attack.

Qin Feng frowned. He could sense the powerful aura emanating from this guardian beast, far surpassing any of the magical beasts they had encountered before. He quickly activated his spatial perception, attempting to find the guardian beast's weakness. However, the guardian beast's body seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier, which his spatial perception could not penetrate at all.

"Everyone be careful, this guardian beast's strength far exceeds our expectations," Qin Feng said in a low voice, while his hands quickly formed hand seals, preparing to open a spatial rift to defend against a sudden attack from the guardian beast.

Lin Qing gripped his longsword tightly, the blade trembling slightly as he struggled against the overwhelming pressure from the guardian beast. He took a deep breath, circulating his vital energy to optimize his condition for the impending battle. "No matter how strong it is, we cannot back down. For the Star Stone, for the fight against the Sky-Piercing Beast, we must defeat it!" Lin Qing's eyes shone with unwavering resolve, his voice low yet powerful.

Ye Lan waved her jade flute, drawing upon the natural elements. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees seemed to come alive, swaying and dancing. Water elements transformed into water dragons, fire elements coalesced into burning phoenixes, wind elements formed sharp blades, and earth elements became sturdy shields, surrounding the group, ready to attack or defend at any moment. "I will use the natural elements to support everyone, so please be careful." Ye Lan's eyes revealed tension and focus, and her voice trembled slightly, but her hands gripped the jade flute firmly, manipulating the natural elements.

The guardian beast seemed enraged by the crowd's actions. It let out a deafening roar, and all nine of its tails lashed out at the group. Each tail carried immense power, tearing the air apart and creating a hissing sound.

Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately opened a spatial rift, attempting to suck the guardian beast's tails into it. However, the guardian beast's power was too great; the spatial rift could only barely block a few tails, unable to completely absorb them. "The guardian beast's power is so terrifying that even a spatial rift can't withstand it," Qin Feng thought to himself in amazement. He increased the suction force of the spatial rift, veins bulging on his forehead, and sweat pouring down his face.

Lin Qing unleashed the "Blood Shadow Raging Wave Sword," a powerful sword technique he created after in-depth research into the power of blood and qi. Each sword aura was imbued with dense blood and qi power, like surging waves, attacking the guardian beast wave after wave. The moment the sword aura struck the guardian beast, it erupted with dazzling light; however, the guardian beast merely swayed, and the flames on its body dimmed only briefly before blazing fiercely again.

"How could this be? My sword energy did so little damage to it." Lin Qing was shocked. He couldn't believe that his hard-earned martial arts had such a minimal effect on the guardian beast. He swung his longsword again, this time gathering all his blood and energy into the sword, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to the guardian beast.

Ye Lan also unleashed the "Myriad Manifestations of Spiritual Energy," a powerful spell she created by fusing various natural elements. The surrounding natural elements surged wildly, all attacking the guardian beast. However, the guardian beast merely opened its gaping maw and spewed out an even more intense pillar of fire, engulfing all of Ye Lan's elemental magic.

Just as everyone was in dire straits, a fierce battle suddenly erupted in the distance. Turning to look, they saw a group of people dressed in various attire fighting against a group of creatures emanating a dark aura. These creatures were the minions of the demon realm, unleashing dark magic that devastated everything in their path; trees withered instantly, the land turned black, and the air reeked of decay. Fighting them were righteous disciples dressed in Taoist robes and wielding swords, desperately resisting and employing various magical arts and techniques to try and stop the demon minions' rampage.

"It's the righteous alliance fighting against the demon realm's minions!" Qin Feng exclaimed in surprise. He knew they were facing a double crisis: a powerful guardian beast on one side, and a fierce conflict between good and evil on the other. But without hesitation, he immediately decided, "Let's resolve the immediate crisis first and join the battle!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, temporarily setting aside their battle with the guardian beast and rushing towards the battlefield between good and evil. The guardian beast seemed unconcerned about their departure; it stood still, letting out a low roar, as if warning them not to easily challenge its authority.

Qin Feng opened a spatial rift and charged towards the demonic minions. His spatial rift possessed a powerful devouring ability, capable of absorbing dark magic. He rapidly formed hand seals, and the spatial rift expanded quickly before him, drawing in streams of dark magic with a hissing sound. "I'll show you the power of a spatial rift!" Qin Feng shouted, his eyes filled with determination and fury. With each swing of his hands, the spatial rift devoured even more dark magic.

Lin Qing brandished his longsword, unleashing a fierce sword aura as he charged towards the demonic minions. His sword aura, like streaks of lightning, ripped through the night sky, striking the demonic minions. Each strike carried immense power, forcing the demonic minions back several steps. "Evil demonic wretch, prepare to die!" Lin Qing roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield, filled with majesty and power.

Ye Lan waved her jade flute, drawing upon the natural elements to provide support for everyone. She cast healing spells to restore the wounded righteous disciples; simultaneously, she unleashed offensive spells, transforming the natural elements into sharp blades that shot towards the demonic minions. "Hold on, everyone, I'll heal you!" Ye Lan shouted, her clear and melodious voice bringing a touch of warmth and hope amidst the fierce battle.

Jasmine used her microscopic energy perception to find the weaknesses of the demonic minions. Her consciousness penetrated the microscopic world, meticulously scanning the body of each demonic minion. Finally, she discovered that the demonic minions' hearts were their weak points, where the dark energy was relatively weak. "Attack their hearts! That's their weak point!" Jasmine shouted, her voice echoing across the battlefield, giving everyone hope for victory.

With Qin Feng and the others joining the fray, the tide of battle turned. Seeing reinforcements arrive, the righteous disciples were greatly encouraged and unleashed even stronger techniques, engaging in a fierce battle against the demonic minions.

Just as the battle reached its climax, Qin Feng suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching them. He turned his head and saw a woman in a blue Taoist robe and an elderly man with white hair flying towards them. The woman had a beautiful face and outstanding temperament, holding a sword in her hand, the blade gleaming with a cold light; the old man was vigorous, his eyes revealing profound wisdom, and he held a whisk in his hand, the whisk emitting a faint spiritual light.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The woman flew up to Qin Feng and the others and asked warily. Her voice was clear and melodious, but it carried a hint of vigilance and suspicion.

Qin Feng quickly said, "We are cultivators who came to find the Star Stone. We were passing by when we saw you fighting against the demonic minions, so we came to help. My name is Qin Feng, and these are my companions Jasmine, Lin Qing, and Ye Lan."

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your help. I am Xuanfeng, an elder of Zixia Palace, and this is Su Yao, a genius disciple of Qingyun Sect. Now, the powerful demon Qingtian is about to be born, and the entire Cangqiong World will face a great crisis."

Su Yao continued, "Yes, Qingtian's power is unfathomable. Legend has it that he was born from the dark origin at the beginning of the universe's chaos, and since his conception, he has been constantly devouring the endless dark energy and evil will in the Demon Realm. Each of his transformations is accompanied by the tremors and destruction of the Demon Realm. Now that he is about to be born, the entire world will be plunged into darkness."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed. They knew that the task of finding the Star Stone had become even more urgent.

"We must find the Starstone as soon as possible; only it can fight against the dark forces of Qingtian," Qin Feng said firmly.

Elder Xuanfeng nodded and said, "The Star Stone is a treasure formed from the power of the stars at the beginning of the universe, possessing immense power. However, it is hidden deep within a mysterious valley, surrounded by powerful protective forces. If you want to find it, you must pass many trials."

Just then, the guardian beast roared again. Everyone turned to look and saw the guardian beast slowly walking towards them, its eyes flashing with a fierce light, as if warning them not to come closer.

"It seems our troubles are not over yet." Lin Qing gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes revealing a firm resolve.

An even fiercer battle is about to unfold. Qin Feng and his companions will not only face powerful guardian beasts but also attacks from the demon realm's minions. Whether they can find the Star Stone amidst this double crisis and successfully confront the soon-to-be-born Sky-Supporting Being remains uncertain and suspenseful.

The guardian beast drew ever closer, its flames causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, as if the air itself were about to burst into flames. Qin Feng and the others, along with the members of the righteous alliance, quickly formed a circle to face this powerful enemy together.

“This guardian beast is far too powerful; we must think of a way to deal with it,” Su Yao said, her brows furrowed and a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Elder Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "The power of this guardian beast is closely related to the natural elements. Perhaps we can start from this aspect. Miss Ye Lan, you have a strong ability to control the natural elements. Perhaps you can find its weakness."

Ye Lan nodded, closed her eyes, concentrated, and sensed the flow of natural elements around her. She discovered that the fire element on the guardian beast was extremely powerful, but the water element was relatively weak in comparison.

"I have an idea!" Ye Lan suddenly opened her eyes and said excitedly, "The guardian beast is weak in water element, so we can use water element to counter it."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Ye Lan then waved her jade flute, drawing upon the water element from nature. The surrounding water vapor rapidly gathered, forming water dragons that surged towards the guardian beast.

The guardian beast seemed to sense the danger. It roared and whipped its nine tails simultaneously, unleashing a powerful firestorm in an attempt to block the water dragon's attack. The water dragon collided with the firestorm, generating intense energy fluctuations and sending countless splashes and sparks flying.

Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately opened a spatial rift, aiming the opening at the guardian beast. He attempted to use the rift's suction to draw the beast's fire power into it, weakening its attack.

Lin Qing and Su Yao also unleashed their respective special skills. Lin Qing used the "Blood Shadow Raging Wave Sword," combining sword energy with water elements to form sword energy with water attributes, which attacked the guardian beast. Su Yao threw out the talisman in her hand, which instantly burned in the air, turning into golden rays of light that rushed towards the guardian beast to interfere with its actions.

Under the combined attack of the group, the guardian beast's fire power was gradually weakened, and wounds appeared on its body, from which black blood flowed.

"Now!" Elder Xuanfeng shouted, unleashing the Purple Cloud Divine Skill. A powerful purple light shot out from his hand and struck the guardian beast in the chest.

The guardian beast let out a painful roar, its body swaying as if severely injured. However, just when everyone thought it was about to collapse, the guardian beast suddenly roared to the sky with a deafening roar. Its body began to swell, the flames on its body became even more intense, and its power was restored in an instant, even stronger than before.

"How is this possible?" Everyone was shocked; they couldn't believe their eyes.

While everyone was still in shock, the demon's minions seized the opportunity to launch an attack. They unleashed powerful dark magic, sweeping towards the group.

"Oh no, we're being attacked from both sides!" Qin Feng shouted.

In this critical moment, will the group be able to escape danger once again? How will they cope with the even more severe challenges? And what will become of their search for the Star Stone? Everything is still unknown, and what awaits them are even more hardships and uncertain fates.
