Chapter 1112: Source Core

Origin Realm, Core Area.

A figure sped across the firmament, two brilliant golden wings on his back blotting out the sun. With every flap, his figure vanished from its original spot, his speed incredibly fast.

Behind him, two other figures followed closely like maggots on a bone. Although the former's speed was fast, the two behind were even faster, and the distance between the two sides was narrowing by tiny increments.

It was only a matter of time before the former was caught.

"Brat, hand over the treasure in your hands quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

One of the pursuers shouted in a raspy voice. His entire body was wrapped in a cloud of blood-colored light, and his eyes flickered with piercing blood-light.

This person was none other than Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor, whose cultivation level had long since reached the fourth layer of the Ancestral Spirit Realm!

Beside him was a bald monk draped in a red-gold Kasaya. His cultivation level was actually on par with Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor, also a terrifying existence at the fourth layer of the Ancestral Spirit Realm.

"Amitabha. Benefactor, you cannot escape. Hand over that Source Core!"

The bald monk pressed his palms together, but a chilling Killing Intent flickered in his eyes.

At this moment, the one being hunted by the two Ancestral Spirit Realms was none other than Qin Qipeng.

His cultivation level had actually completely surpassed his brothers, reaching the Ancestral Spirit Realm!

Otherwise, if he only had a True Spirit Realm cultivation level, he would have been caught by the two Ancestral Spirit Realm existences long ago.

"The item is in my hands. If you want it, come and take it yourself. Stop talking nonsense!"

Qin Qipeng looked back and gave a cold laugh. "Once something enters the hands of me, Qin Qipeng, I don't have the habit of giving it back!"

"Arrogant little thief!"

Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor and the bald monk were instantly enraged.

They were experts who had existed since before the Origin Ancestor disappeared, having lived for an unknown number of years. When had anyone ever dared to speak to them like this, especially since this boy was clearly a junior.

Ferocious light revealed itself in their eyes, and Killing Intent surged.

They had just seen with their own eyes Qin Qipeng fly out from a massive ancient ruin, sweeping up a large swath of flowing light into his internal world.

Their eyes had turned green with envy at the time. They didn't notice the other things, but they did notice the giant gem held in the hands of the original massive statue within those ancient ruins.

That gem was actually a Source Core!

A Source Core was the same type of thing as a Source Stone, but it was even more pure, and thus its effect on them was naturally greater.

To be able to become an Ancestral Spirit Realm existence, the Aptitude of Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor and the bald monk was naturally not low; both were of the Eternal Ancient Saint Body.

However, to Breakthrough to the Origin Ancestor Realm, the Eternal Ancient Saint Body was no longer enough. That was why they were bitterly searching for treasures left behind by the Origin Ancestor, yearning to raise their life level and become the legendary Divine Ancestor Dao Embryo.

Ordinary Source Stones had a negligible effect on them.

But a Source Core was different. If they could collect enough Source Cores, they might realize their wish and become a Divine Ancestor Dao Embryo!

At that time, they would be the tenth Origin Ancestor of the Heavens and Myriad Realms!

And the only Origin Ancestor who was not under a Seal!

By then, in the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms, they would be the most powerful existences.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such an allure!

Actually, Qin Qipeng hadn't expected to be targeted by two Ancestral Spirit Realm big shots upon emerging from the ancient ruins. If it were just one, he might not necessarily be afraid.

But the opponents were now two Ancestral Spirit Realms, and both had reached the Middle Stage of the Ancestral Spirit Realm. He couldn't confront them head-on and could only flee.

Speaking of which, over these ten thousand years, Qin Qipeng had been doing very well for himself in the Origin Realm.

His Luck value had received special attention from Qin Changqing since he was young, and among his many siblings, he was far ahead of the pack.

Now that he had come to this Origin Ancestor world filled with treasures, he was like a fish in water, encountering a ruin every few days, and always managing to turn danger into safety with bountiful harvests.

This was also the biggest factor in his cultivation level advancing by leaps and bounds over the ten thousand years, allowing him to Breakthrough to the Ancestral Spirit Realm.

To him, who was now laden with countless treasures, the Source Core was indeed like a broken stone, essentially worthless.

In fact, when he rushed out of the ancient ruins earlier, he had simply taken everything he could carry as he passed, not noticing any Source Core at all.

Over so many years, he had formed a habit.

If Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor and the bald monk knew this thought, they would probably be so angry they'd spit blood.

Meanwhile, in the Void Realm not far from Qin Qipeng, two other figures followed closely.

They were precisely two of Qin Changqing's Clones!

Since Qin Qipeng was in the extremely perilous Core Area, he naturally received Qin Changqing's focused attention.

He had witnessed Qin Qipeng's growth all the way and felt endless emotion in his heart.

This brat's Luck was simply too Heaven-Defying. This speed of collecting treasures was almost comparable to a Divine Ability used by the Heavenly Dao to gather Heaven And Earth Treasures!

"Two old fogies, daring to bully my son!"

The two Clones looked back at Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor and the bald monk, cold light flashing in their eyes.

His current cultivation level was also at the first layer of the Ancestral Spirit Realm, but the strength he could exert was comparable to the second or third layer. If he added the Heavenly Dao's curse Divine Ability, crushing them would be no problem.

However, since Qin Qipeng hadn't encountered a life-or-death crisis yet, he wouldn't easily intervene. Otherwise, there would be no point in letting the children out for experience.

"Speaking of which, this Core Area seems to be getting more and more bizarre…"

The black robe clone looked up at the sky.

The sky here presented a bizarre crimson color, with shifting and treacherous clouds, as if eyes were hidden inside peering out, staring fixedly at the many living beings below.

"Brat, you can't escape!"

As time passed, the distance between the two sides became very close.

Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor and the bald monk wore ferocious, wild smiles. Almost simultaneously, they struck, opening their internal worlds and rapidly sweeping toward Qin Qipeng. "You are mine!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure behind him, Qin Qipeng's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He suddenly froze in mid-air, turned around, and revealed a meaningful, strange smile. "I see you've worked hard chasing me. I've played enough. Goodbye!"

As he spoke, his right hand suddenly grabbed toward his back, pulling out an all-crimson scepter from his internal world. World force was injected into it, and the top of the scepter immediately flickered with crimson light. Instantly, a large cloud of red mist sprayed out, enveloping Qin Qipeng, and the surrounding space also suddenly collapsed.

"Source Core!"

Blood Skeleton Old Ancestor and the bald monk's hearts raced at the sight, their eyes fixed greedily on the gem at the top of the scepter.

But immediately after, they sensed the changes around Qin Qipeng. This scepter seemed to be a Magic Treasure capable of breaking through the Origin Realm's space for teleportation!

"Not good!"

The faces of both men changed drastically at the same time.

In the Origin Realm, space was incredibly stable, and it became more stable the deeper one went.

In this Core Area, even those in the Ancestral Spirit Realm could not forcibly break through space for teleportation.

If they let Qin Qipeng escape now, it would be difficult to find him again!

"Where do you think you're going!"

The two figures dashed out simultaneously, plunging fiercely into the red mist.
