Crack, crack, crack!
Seeing the vast space suddenly appear, enveloping even the Hell Hydra, the Demon Spirit Walker, giant sword in hand, stepped into the void with a few flashes before charging forward.
The demon dragon on the divine map was completely shattered. The radiance of the demonic realm, enhanced by the demonic bloodline, was like thousands of divine weapons, frantically slicing through the divine map space. The vast light curtain trembled violently.
"Wuxiang, how are you? Can you hold on?"
As soon as he entered the divine map space, Ming Qi saw Wuxiang Boy flying vigorously at the top of the divine map, his auras striking the spatial barrier. Needless to say, Wuxiang Boy was mobilizing his power to reinforce the divine map.
"It should be fine to hold on, but now that we've brought something this large in, the Divine Diagram can't be moved."
Hearing Wuxiang Tongzi's words, Ming Qi felt a little more at ease. The Hell Hydra was already at its end, and its refining into energy was inevitable. As long as Wuxiang Tongzi could mobilize the Divine Diagram's power to withstand the attacks of the Demonic Spirit Walker outside, once the refining was complete, it would be completely undone.
Bang, bang, bang!
Tremendous forces continuously impacted the image-recording space, causing the entire interior of the Divine Diagram to shake continuously.
Through the Divine Diagram, one could see the Demonic Spirit Walker outside launching a fierce attack against the Divine Diagram's barrier.
This attack was relatively successful, but the Demonic Spirit Walker's fierce attack had severely damaged the Dikui Demon Fox's martial spirit, and it might not recover for a while.
Thankfully, Ming Qi had a number of healing pills. He took out a few to heal the Dikui Demon Fox while Ming Qi hurried to refine the Hell Hydra.
Now that they had entered the Divine Map's space, the Hell Hydra was completely powerless to resist. It looked utterly exhausted, like a dead mass.
Even if the Hell Hydra had lost its resistance, completely refining such a behemoth would require considerable effort. Ming Qi continuously drew energy from the Divine Map while closely observing every movement within and outside the Divine Map.
At this moment, outside the Divine Map...
"Damn, what the hell is this?"
A group of cultivators stared at the massive ball of light that suddenly appeared on the Demonic Corridor, unable to discern a single clue.
"City Lord Yu, that seems to be a small world?"
As someone with advanced cultivation, Lady Rose, standing beside Yu Quanzhen, asked Yu Quanzhen speculatively.
"Yes, it should be the Small Universe World, but it seems to be still unformed, with vast swathes of chaos within."
Yu Quanzhen was also discerning. He immediately saw that Ming Qi's Supreme Diagram had reached the level of a Small Universe World, and it was only in its early stages, not yet fully formed.
"Who is this person? How could he possess such a magical weapon? Isn't he afraid of bringing disaster upon himself?"
Chi Hongyi, who was far away, also overheard the conversation between Yu Quanzhen and Madam Rose and casually interjected. Everyone knew that possessing a magical weapon from the Small Universe was a treasure even to the Martial King or Martial Saint, and some might even harbor selfish motives of killing and seizing it.
Chi Hongyi had sustained serious injuries in the previous battle and was currently channeling his energy to heal his wounds, his eyes occasionally focused on the movements in the Demonic Corridor.
The Demonic Spirit Walker continued his frantic attack on Ming Qi's Divine Diagram space, and the entire space appeared to be crumbling.
"According to him, they're from the Fox Clan of the Roland Secret Realm, but I've never heard of any Fox Clan in the Roland Secret Realm. It's a deadly place."
Long Zhe spoke from the side.
"Haha, this person is very similar to someone I once met."
Yu Quanzhen had always felt that the person before him resembled the young man who had appeared in the lower city of Killing Star City, but there was also a sense of difference, a feeling of uncertainty. He couldn't be sure at the moment.
Although they could clearly see the divine map space, they had no idea what was happening inside. All they knew was that the massive Hell Hydra had been forcibly engulfed in the Small Universe World. As for how to deal with it, they had no clue.
"What should we do next?"
Chi Hongyi asked.
"Let's take a short break. Without the Hell Hydra, the Demon Spirit Walker won't be able to defend the Demonic Corridor. Once we're done, we'll charge straight ahead."
It seemed Yu Quanzhen was also quite wary of the Hell Hydra's power. The poison on his hand was still somewhat affecting his combat effectiveness.
A large group of cultivators here rested, not participating in the battle between Ming Qi and the Demon Spirit Walker, but simply observing from afar.
Inside the Divine Map Space.
"These people are too cunning. They're still waiting and watching at this time."
The Di Kui Demon Fox said angrily.
"They're all very cunning. Without a clear target, no one wants to be the first to strike. Right now, they're following Yu Quanzhen's lead. I guess it must be Yu Quanzhen who gave the order, so they're waiting and watching."
Wei Silong was quite insightful, and with just a few words, he accurately analyzed the mentality of the cultivators outside.
Ming Qi didn't have time to dwell on these matters. Refining the Hell Hydra was a formidable process. If it weren't for his desire to possess immortality, he wouldn't have considered refining such a formidable monster at this time.
Around Ming Qi, countless threads of heavenly fire emanated a dazzling light, and energy could be clearly seen flowing continuously along these threads toward Ming Qi.
The others within the divine diagram space were unable to intervene and could only wait.
After a frantic attack, the demon walker outside realized he couldn't break the divine diagram, so he focused his attack on the cultivators behind him.
Carrying a giant sword imbued with the radiance of the demonic realm, the demon walker stepped through the void, passing through the vast divine diagram space and directly arriving in front of Yu Quanzhen and the others.
"Kill my demon pet, and you will all die today!"
The Demon Spirit Walker didn't consider the exact relationship between Ming Qi and these cultivators. He simply saw that they had come together, so they must be in the same group. Since the strange space couldn't be broken through for the time being, he would target them.
Seeing that the Demon Spirit Walker had bypassed the people in the Small Universe World and instead targeted them, Yu Quanzhen and the others knew a head-on confrontation with the Demon Spirit Walker was inevitable. They braced themselves, paying close attention to the Demon Spirit Walker's every move.
The Demon Spirit Walker on this side was also very decisive. He raised his greatsword high and used the same move he had used against Ming Qi: Descend the Demon Dragon.
With a roar, the massive black demon dragon reappeared, circling in the space before charging towards the cultivators with its fangs and claws bared.
Yu Quanzhen had seen this move, the Devil Dragon's Descent, before. He had easily shattered the spirit of a celestial beast surrounding the Little Fox Prince. One could only imagine the sheer force of this Devil Dragon's impact.
"Everyone, disperse!"
Someone called out, and the cultivators who had gathered together immediately dispersed, heading in different directions.
Yun Quanzhen and the other masters at the front engaged the Devil Spirit Walker head-on.
Thanks to his Demonic Bloodline, the Devil Spirit Walker's strength had been maximized and enhanced. Although the Devil Spirit Walker was alone, he was able to fight Yu Quanzhen's numerous masters to a draw. It was truly incredible.
"They're fighting outside. How are you?"
The Divine Map could see the outside scene. Seeing Yu Quanzhen and the others engaged the Devil Spirit Walker head-on, if Ming Qi had finished refining at this point, he could have directly controlled the Divine Map and left.
"Almost there!"
Ming Qi simply agreed, his hands forming hand seals once more, sending countless threads of heavenly fire flying out.
The Hell Hydra's once enormous form on the ground could be seen to have shrunk several times, and the demonic aura emanating from it gradually dissipated until it completely vanished.
As strands of energy continued to flow into his body, Ming Qi knew he couldn't currently contain it all, so he channeled a large portion of the pure energy into the Supreme Diagram for storage, while absorbing and refining the bloodline power that contained the secret essence of immortality.
Gradually, Ming Qi began to sense changes. Through introspection, he could clearly see subtle shifts in his body's structure. While he couldn't yet articulate the specifics of the changes, he was certain of one thing: he had implanted the Hell Hydra's immortal bloodline within his own body. With time to integrate and comprehend it, he would undoubtedly master this innate divine power.
"Alright!"
After another half hour, Ming Qi shouted loudly, and a burst of light suddenly erupted from his hands, snatching up the remaining remains of the Hell Hydra. Then, a ball of heavenly fire erupted, completely incinerating it.
"Go!"
Without stopping, Ming Qi activated the Divine Map to shrink the space. Then, with a single glide, he flew hundreds of meters across the Magic Corridor.
"Look, we're almost out of this Magic Forest!"
Through the Divine Map, he could clearly see the sun shining ahead. Needless to say, that place must be outside the Magic Forest. Unless something unexpected happened, it should be beneath Mount Osho.
"Hmm?"
Almost reaching Mount Osho, Ming Qi remained vigilant, manipulating the Divine Map to slow down. Just then, he saw something swiftly flying towards him from the sky.
The object, as fast as lightning, had already landed on the ground in the blink of an eye. A closer look revealed a brilliantly crimson flag.
"It's him!"
Seeing the flag, Ming Qi immediately thought of something.
