Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 672: Activation
"You are Qinchuan?!" Jiang Bing's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing this, and his eyes seemed almost ablaze with fury as he looked at Qinchuan.
"It was you who killed my fifteenth brother!"
After descending to the Lower Realm, Jiang Bing was not too familiar with controlling his power, so he got injured in a clash with a Great Emperor. He had been in seclusion healing his injuries for the past few years and had only recently emerged, which is when he heard the news of Qinchuan killing Jiang Yan.
As for Qinchuan's portrait, although the Jiang Family had already obtained it, he had not yet seen it.
"What! This youngster is Qinchuan?"
"Then the person next to him must be the old ancestor of Tianyuan Nation, Li Kaitian!" Yan Zhu, Su Yun, and others exchanged looks covertly, ready to make a move the moment Qinchuan and Jiang Bing came into conflict.
"So, he is the one who killed the Divine Envoys from over a dozen powers, including the Jiang Family, Jin Ling Sacred Ground, and Ji Family?" On the other side, the powerful beings from the Upper Realm had different thoughts: "He possesses two Spiritual Pearls; we must find an opportunity to snatch them away!"
It was no secret that Qinchuan had two of the nine Great Secrets' Spiritual Pearls in his hands.
The allure of these pearls to them was also immensely great.
"You little brat, you killed my junior brother!" At that moment, another elder, exuding the aura of an Immortal, leaped forward and pressed towards Qinchuan and his group.
"Tianji Sect's Bai Yunran!" Qinchuan glanced at this elderly Taoist and saw him dressed in divine Tianji robes, holding a golden shining divine banner, clearly someone who portrayed himself as a venerable Immortal. Qinchuan guessed the elder's identity without needing to ask.
"Bai Yunke was not killed by me. If you're seeking revenge, you've found the wrong person!"
Qinchuan said indifferently.
"Humph, countless people in the city witnessed you clashing with my junior brother Yunke, leaving him seriously injured. Now you still dare to argue!" Bai Yunran glared with fury, seemingly truly enraged by the death of Bai Yunke.
"Since that's the case, this young lord won't say much else. If you wish to seek revenge, I am ready at any time!"
Qinchuan clearly understood.
Bai Yunran was a top disciple of Tianji Sect. Although he couldn't directly see through the heavens to find out who the real murderer of his junior brother was, he certainly knew Qinchuan was not the real killer the moment he saw him.
And yet, knowing that Qinchuan wasn't the killer, he was still so eager to seek revenge.
In the end, there could only be one reason: he was after the Spiritual Pearls in Qinchuan's possession.
These supreme Sect Families all cared about their reputation, Bai Yunran was merely using it as a pretext to snatch Qinchuan's pearls.
Indeed, treasures tempt people's hearts.
Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran, one on the left and one on the right, stared at Qinchuan with a hungry gaze, and the atmosphere in the area became tense and charged.
"Everyone, please set aside your personal grievances for the time being. Once we open the Devil Mountain pathway, it will not be too late to settle your disputes!"
Seeing that a battle was on the verge of breaking out, Qinghui Holy Maiden stepped forward to mediate.
Wu Xing held her Spirit Bow, her figure graceful and yet filled with a brisk vigor. She also stepped forward, standing in the midst of everyone, "Now that everyone has arrived, let's open the Devil Mountain pathway first!"
With the two fairies speaking up, Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran both gave cold snorts before stepping back.
After all, the final key to opening the Devil Mountain pathway was still in Tianyuan Nation's hands.
"Once we enter Devil Mountain, I will settle the score with you!" the two said coldly.
Not only them, but also Yan Zhu, Su Yun, Yuan Xin, and many Divine Envoys who came from the Divine Realm, had their own schemes, harboring the same intentions.
"If you are not afraid of death, then this young lord will accompany you to the end," Qinchuan sneered.
"Everyone, please take out the keys you have!"
Wu Xin spoke at this moment, and as she did, her entire being floated into motion, her immortal grace and agility propelling her toward the endless Demonic Qi above Fengdu City.
Qinchuan, Qinghui Holy Maiden, Binghuang Taiqing, Su, Wang, and the other eight veteran Sect Families, as well as the three new Sect Families of the Gu Family, all Great Emperor powerhouses, also took action at this moment, following her lead.
The Devil Mountain was hidden within this endless miasma of ghostly Qi; no one could see its true face clearly.
Advancing through the black mist, everyone felt an increasing pressure above their heads—not only was the Physical Body facing severe oppression, but the range of their Divine Sense was also shrinking.
While in Fengdu City, the influence of the ghostly Qi reduced the range of their Divine Sense to half its usual span, and as they moved deeper into the black fog, this oppressive feeling grew stronger, until, at last, their Divine Sense could only sense about one quarter of its normal range.
All around, amidst the ghostly Qi filling the sky, no one knew how long they had been walking when they sensed an invisible Barrier in the void ahead, standing right in front of them.
This Barrier was intangible and invisible, but everyone could clearly feel that it was there, blocking their progress.
"This is the mystical spatial Barrier that has prevented people from advancing toward Devil Mountain for countless years!"
Behind the Barrier, in the endless void, there were nine altars of different shapes and materials, and due to countless years of disuse, these nine altars were covered in a thick layer of dust.
"Now is the time, offer up the keys!" Wu Xin Fairy commanded coldly.
Following her shout, Qinchuan and the remaining powerhouses simultaneously offered up the keys in their hands.
In the hands of Qinchuan and Wu Xin Fairy were a pair of Spiritual Pearls, the Great Emperor from the Evil Family had a pair of Spirit Swords, the Great Emperor from the Gu Family offered up a pair of Bronze Figures, and the keys in the hands of the other Great Emperors were also of different shapes, but all could be paired up.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh"
The nine different pairs of keys each flew toward their respective altars after being offered up.
"Boom!"
As the keys returned to the altars, the center of each altar emitted a dazzling light simultaneously.
The nine altars released nine different colored divine lights.
The Nine-colored Divine Light shot straight into the sky, like Chaos Qi, piercing the endless demonic fog and ghostly Qi, with divine radiance converging in the void to weave a starry nebula curtain, like an eternal light from the ancient past, cascading below like a galaxy.

Countless streams of the galaxy scattered, with specks of light converging beneath the Nine-colored Altars.
Before long, an ancient bridge rich in antiquity and intertwined with the Great Dao appeared in front of everyone.
The ancient bridge gleamed all over, filled with Runes and emanating an eerie glow, imposing an overwhelming sense of oppression on everyone—like a bridge leading to death.
The ancient bridge passed through the mysterious Barrier and disappeared into the vast mist, with no one knowing where it led.
"Is this the sacred land where the young of the ancient Demon and Devil races underwent their rite of passage?" Qinchuan thought to himself, looking toward the end of the ancient bridge.
"There are powerful fortunes inside!"
"Let's go in first!" Qinchuan did not hesitate and called out loudly.
Qinchuan, Li Kaitian, and the Qinghui Holy Maiden, among others, rushed onto the ancient bridge, shooting toward the depths of Devil Mountain.
Not to be outdone, Wu Xin Fairy kept pace with them.
The remaining powerhouses from the Binghuang, Xiao Sect, and Gu Efeng Sect Families also charged in like lightning.
"Devil Mountain has opened! Everyone, hurry in!"
No one knew who shouted, but at that moment, all the Great Emperors surged toward the ancient bridge.
