The cultivators from various sects, witnessing the two titans personally intervene and swiftly resolve the troublesome individuals, displayed smiles on their faces.
Some began to cheer loudly.
"The Immortal Venerable's personal intervention is truly extraordinary!"
"The Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect is indeed powerful. With a single move, he eliminated the demonic cultivator, truly living up to his reputation as the first expert to reach the Mahayana stage. With the two titans taking action, these fiends are surely captured. Now, killing them will bring peace back to our world."
"Long live the Immortal Venerable, long live the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect!"
As everyone was cheering, a fierce gust of wind swept through the area, forcing everyone to close their eyes. When the wind subsided, a person suddenly appeared on the scene.
The crowd looked on in confusion. They didn't know who this person was, but they could sense that his strength far surpassed their own. His unique entrance alone was something they couldn't compare to.
Everyone assumed this was an expert dispatched by some sect to participate in the demon-slaying mission. Thus, some, without considering the implications, began to flatter him.
"Wow! Senior, may I ask which sect you hail from? Your speed is comparable to the Immortal Venerable. Such power is rare in our world. If we are fortunate enough to befriend you, it would be an honor for our sect. May I know your name?"
Another chimed in, "This senior cultivates the orthodox path of immortals. I can feel the spiritual energy circulating around you, filled with light and benevolence. If you were not from a renowned great sect, you would not be able to cultivate such an orthodox and powerful cultivation. I imagine your sect is well-known? Perhaps you have been in seclusion for many years, which is why we are unaware of you. Please, senior, tell us your esteemed name so we may broaden our horizons."
Another added, "What a pity, senior. You arrived a step too late. The Immortal Venerable and the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, the two titans, have already dealt with these demonic outsiders. It's a shame you couldn't showcase your skills. I believe with your current strength, these fiends would have been no match for you. May I know your esteemed name and your sect? Please tell us so we may learn."
Qin Feng stood still, his gaze fixed on the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect and the Immortal Venerable. Among everyone present, only these two could pose a threat to him. While others possessed decent strength, they were far inferior to him. At their level of cultivation, these individuals could not interfere. Even if they all joined forces, they would not be a match for even one of his hands; Qin Feng was well aware of this.
Meanwhile, the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, who was about to end the life of the "204," was greatly surprised by Qin Feng's arrival. He clearly remembered that after being attacked by him, Qin Feng had fled in disarray towards the Extreme Wasteland. If not for the intervention of that fierce ghost, Qin Feng would have already perished by his hand. Now, for him to return with greatly increased strength, a sense of unease stirred within him.
At his level of cultivation, he possessed the ability to foresee certain futures, though they were filled with variables.
He knew very well that Qin Feng was his destined tribulation. The appearance of this person could potentially bring him danger. However, after carefully sensing Qin Feng's cultivation, his heart settled. He felt his worries were unnecessary. After all, the other party's realm was only at the late stage of Void Refining, which was no match for his Mahayana stage cultivation. The difference of one realm was an insurmountable chasm.
Killing Qin Feng would be as easy as flipping his palm.
With this thought, he laughed heartily and said, "Do you wish to know who this person is? Then I shall tell you. This person is Qin Feng, that great demon."
Upon hearing this, everyone present revealed expressions of horror and retreated several steps, their eyes fixed on Qin Feng's every move.
Their gathering here this time to slay demons was at the command of the Immortal Venerable. The greatest demon was none other than this person named Qin Feng. They never expected this great demon to possess the late stage of Void Refining and to be far superior to them in terms of speed.
If they were to engage this great demon, they would undoubtedly become cannon fodder. While they might be able to wear him down somewhat, they would also be unable to escape death. When they arrived at the battlefield and found their opponents to be merely a very weak fierce ghost and a demonic cultivator with low cultivation, they had harbored a sliver of hope.
This was because, with their strength, even if they couldn't completely kill these two demonic outsiders, they could at least protect themselves. However, Qin Feng's appearance was different. They had no means of self-preservation when facing someone far stronger than themselves. At most, they could help the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect and the Immortal Venerable weaken the opponent, acting as cannon fodder to ease their burden and allow them to safely eliminate the demons. Beyond that, they were useless.
They did not want to do such a thing. If it weren't for the Immortal Venerable's strict order, they wouldn't even have come to this godforsaken place. Although slaying demons could bring future benefits and a clearer state of mind, when their lives were at stake, they wouldn't be so foolish as to trade their lives for an uncertain future.
Therefore, upon hearing that Qin Feng was that great demon, they all involuntarily retreated. They didn't want to be cannon fodder, nor did they want to be the first to charge forward.
The Immortal Venerable, upon seeing Qin Feng, was also very surprised. He could sense that this person's strength was now on par with his own. He never expected that during their last encounter, the other party was still at the Golden Core stage, and now, upon meeting again, he had directly reached the late stage of Void Refining. To improve his realm so drastically in such a short period had surpassed his imagination.
Throughout history, no one on this continent had ever been able to advance their cultivation to the late stage of Void Refining so rapidly. Yet, the young man before him had achieved it, which was beyond his comprehension.
Thus, he looked at Qin Feng closely and said with admiration, "As expected of someone who brings disaster to this world. Your current realm truly suits you! I assume you are here for those two, aren't you? You want to save them, right?"
Qin Feng nodded, then said, "You helped me once before, and I can feel that you are a righteous person. Your opposition to me this time is merely to eliminate the disaster in this world! However, I want to tell you that if you listen to me, disaster will not befall us. If you oppose me, your prediction will come true. How will you choose?"
