12. That's too fast! Qiao Lin is really too fast!
The four of them walked out of the reserve camp and the Yinglong Guard's garrison, and went deep into the mountains.
"Those innate gods and demons are kept in a small space inside. It was a barrier set up by an old celestial ancestor of my Yinglong Guard. Its main purpose is for research, and incidentally, it serves as a whetstone for us, the reserve soldiers," Zhang Dai explained.
The so-called innate gods and demons are the beings that were born from the beginning of this world.
These innate gods and demons are born at the innate realm, and some are even born as Void Returning Gods and Demons comparable to Celestial Immortals, with incomparably powerful strength!
Later, powerful human warriors led their armies to establish themselves in various worlds, conquering cities and territories, defeating and killing one innate god or demon after another, and occupying various worlds.
The same was true of the Great Xia world. In the distant past, the Xia Emperor led a large army to kill countless innate gods and demons, and also captured countless others.
Countless years have passed, and the innate gods and demons have been killed so many that they dare not show their faces. Their numbers have become extremely small, and they can only be seen in some wilderness areas or within the barriers set up by powerful beings.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the barrier, Qiao Lin saw the True Man Kui Mu again.
The Yinglong Guard has a small number of internal guards, and the casualty rate is not low. In addition, they need to kill major sinners in a vast area, so most of them are away, and there are not many Yuan Shen True Persons stationed there.
"Greetings, Master Kui Mu!" the four greeted in unison.
"Qiao Lin? It seems you've come here to fight against innate gods and demons?" Master Kui Mu chuckled. "Don't you plan to cultivate for a year or two first?"
"Without enough merit points to exchange for good cultivation techniques and treasures, it's impossible to cultivate!" Qiao Lin joked.
"Haha, you little rascals, you all want to lay the best foundation. Ten merit points are enough to exchange for a Celestial-level cultivation technique, but you all look down on it and are all eyeing the Pure Yang cultivation technique. However, the first part is easy to exchange, but the road ahead will be difficult!"
The first part of the Pure Yang Cultivation Technique only has the chapter on the Purple Mansion Perfection, which can be exchanged for 100 merit points, making it cheap. However, the techniques after the Myriad Manifestations stage are not cheap. The middle part, which requires 10000 merit points to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit stage, and the techniques after the Return to Emptiness stage require a million merit points.
In comparison, immortal-level cultivation techniques are incredibly cheap; 100 merit points can be exchanged for a complete book, covering everything from the Acquired Realm to the Celestial Immortal Realm.
"Tell me, what level of innate god or demon do you intend to challenge? Let me warn you, innate gods and demons are incredibly powerful. No matter how strong the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram is, it's only about the same as an innate god or demon, and it doesn't offer any advantage!"
"In that case, I'll choose the innate god-demon at the initial stage of the myriad phenomena!"
"Hmm, the early stage of the Myriad Manifestations is more reliable... Hmm? You mean the early stage of the Purple Mansion?" Master Kui Mu was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.
"The beginning of all things!" Qiao Lin affirmed.
For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet. Although they were all powerful cultivators, at this moment, they all felt that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Nonsense!" Master Kui Mu realized what was happening and shouted.
"What do you think innate gods and demons are? Are they those weak Qi Refining cultivators? Let me tell you, innate gods and demons are the most outstanding geniuses among human cultivators. The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, which is known as the number one god and demon body refining method, is only comparable to innate gods and demons."
Master Kui Mu roared angrily,
"A mere innate deity is enough to defeat a human Qi Refining cultivator, far exceeding their level. The innate deity at the early stage of the Myriad Manifestations realm that you are about to challenge is capable of killing a Qi Refining cultivator at the mid-stage of the Myriad Manifestations realm. Do you really intend to fight a Qi Refining cultivator at the mid-stage of the Myriad Manifestations realm? How many lives do you have?"
Zhang Dai quickly added, "Qiao Lin, you've just arrived at Yinglong Guard and may not know the strength of the Innate Gods and Demons. I think you should challenge them one by one, starting from the late Innate stage and progressing upwards. This will help you get used to their methods and also serve as a warm-up!"
Hearing Master Kui Mu's rebuke and Zhang Dai's attempt to smooth things over, Qiao Lin wasn't so extreme and nodded in agreement: "What Zhang Dai and the senior said makes sense, then I'll start with the late-stage Innate Realm!"
Hearing that Qiao Lin hadn't insisted on challenging the Myriad Manifestations God and Demon, the expressions on the faces of the group improved considerably. They were terrified that Qiao Lin would be instantly killed by the Myriad Manifestations God and Demon, beyond any hope of saving him.
"Alright, then let's see the power of a late-stage Innate Realm god or demon. Innate gods and demons are not so simple!" said Master Kui Mu.
As he spoke, Master Kui Mu quickly unleashed a series of divine power imprints, and then a huge light screen suddenly appeared in the mountain behind him.
This light screen was tens of thousands of feet tall, terrifyingly large.
"Most innate gods and demons are enormous. In the barrier behind this, there are innate gods and demons at the Yuan Shen realm who are tens of thousands of feet tall," Zhang Dai explained.
Qiao Lin nodded, showing some anticipation for the innate gods and demons.
A moment later, a figure over three zhang tall was teleported out by the light screen behind him and trapped in a restriction.
Qiao Lin quickly recognized the other party's appearance: a ram's head, a human body, and four arms; its appearance was extremely strange.
"Aaaaah, you wretched humans!" the ram-headed demon roared, glaring at Qiao Lin and the others with a fierce and bloodthirsty look, as if it wanted to devour Qiao Lin's flesh and blood.
"Qiao Lin, it's time to leave the stage!" said Master Kui Mu.
"Yes!" Qiao Lin said, then leaped into the specially prepared arena below.
"Ahhh, human, die!" The primordial demon with a goat's head and a human body pounced on Qiao Lin as soon as it saw him appear.
Seeing the movements of a late-stage Innate Realm god-demon, Qiao Lin couldn't help but shake his head: "Too slow!"
Weak in strength and slow in speed, especially in speed, which was as slow as a tortoise in Qiao Lin's eyes, Qiao Lin had no desire to fight against such an opponent.
Suddenly, Qiao Lin lunged forward at such speed that even Master Kui Mu was astonished: "So fast! This speed is almost catching up with mine!"
Even Master Kui Mu was astonished by his speed; facing a primordial god-demon, there was naturally no suspense.
Even the gods and demons of Yangxian didn't notice that Qiao Lin had disappeared, and they rushed towards the place where Qiao Lin had just been.
The ram-headed demon's own head had already been severed, and as it charged forward, the severed half of its head fell off.
At the same time, the body of the already dead ram-headed demon god continued its previous attacking motion, so the result was that the ram-headed demon god was patting its own fallen half of head with its four hands.
pat!
After smashing half of its own head, the headless ram-headed demon finally lost its last bit of strength and collapsed to the ground with a "thud".
It would be hilarious to smash your own head, but none of the onlookers managed to laugh.
Because Qiao Lin's speed was too fast, unbelievably fast!
