Chapter 629: Chapter 398: Cyan Flood Dragon Undergoing Tribulation, Let Me Help You!
She Immortal Peak.
The peak resembles a giant coiled snake, winding upward.
As its name suggests, there is indeed a fierce Snake Demon residing here, named Evil Fiendish Snake. This snake can grow large or small, soar through the sky or burrow into the earth, and release a dense poisonous fiendish aura, making it very formidable.
Where fierce beasts dwell, treasures are bound to be found.
Within this peak lies a treasure tree known as the "Profound Yin Wood." One fruit grows upon this tree, called the "Primordial Yin Fruit." If the Demon Race consumes this fruit, they can condense moonlight, purify their body, enhance their root bone, and significantly strengthen their physique.
If consumed by the Human Race, the Power of the Great Yin will infuse their body, greatly increasing their mana—an invaluable treasure.
"Hiss hiss!"
At this moment, the sound of hissing rose from the peak. A pure white snake resembling a flood dragon soared into the sky, continuously spewing out green poisonous smoke from its mouth, shrouding the heavens and covering the sun, enveloping the entire She Immortal Peak in an instant.
Amidst the pervasive poison, a wicked laughter echoed.
"Kaka, little white snake, do you think this mere poisonous fog can deal with your Grandpa Insect? What a foolish dream!"
"Your body isn’t bad; why not hand it over!"
In the midst of the green smoke, a six-winged insect shadow emerged like a lightning bolt, suddenly piercing through the toxic fog and diving directly into the white snake’s forehead.
The white snake’s body suddenly stiffened, its emerald-green pupils showing the movement of an insect shadow, seemingly losing consciousness.
After a long moment, the white snake abruptly twitched, its eyes suddenly flickering with great agility. Its body moved, diving directly into She Immortal Peak, where it used its tail to wrap around a silver fruit atop a poison pool.
"Kakakaka, what fierce beast? It’s nothing more than a vessel for me, Grandpa Insect, to reside in at will, taking whatever I desire."
"The master still worries; hmph, after three days apart, shouldn’t you look at me in a new light? If not for being unable to reside within the Reincarnation Blood Bat, which beast in this mountain could stop me?!"
The white snake hissed, emitting a cold snort and then flashed in shape, soaring into the sky like a flood dragon.
Not long after, it traversed the celestial vault and arrived before a Spirit Peak obscured by endless clouds.
The clouds constantly flowed, containing infinite Power of Illusion, yet the white snake was unaffected, diving straight into them, landing in front of a cave mansion after a few moments.
The cave mansion seemed to have been crafted temporarily, with traces of fresh chiseling on the rocks. Streams of thunder cascaded down like waterfalls, exuding a forbidding aura.
Before the cave mansion, a phantom was sitting cross-legged, a red spirit seed hovering unsteadily in its palm.
Seeing the white snake land, the phantom suddenly opened its eyes, a flash of cold and ruthless light passed through them before slowly closing again.
"Hiss, the master’s Dharma Body has grown increasingly fierce, with soul power so abundant it’s already comparable to the average Late Stage Golden Core. Such rapid cultivation speed!"
Gazing at the cold gleam in the phantom’s eyes, the white snake couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Forty years ago, upon first seeing this Dharma Body, it seemed negligible, easily destructible with a mere hand wave. Seeing it now, it surprisingly instilled a subtle sense of fear.
"Could the master already possess a Daoist Embryo Divine Soul?!"
The white snake’s emerald eyes flickered with astonishment.
Years ago, the master’s Divine Soul had already reached an unimaginable level, so further progression wasn’t impossible.
"Master, master, little insect has returned and brought the ’Primordial Yin Fruit’ as an offering!"
With this thought, the Heart-devouring Insect’s demeanor became even more humble, eyes showing a fawning smile as it softly sought credit.
Within the cave mansion, there was no movement; after a while, a voice finally echoed.
"Well done, just three more spiritual objects should do it."
Subsequently, mana surged from within the cave mansion, capturing the ’Primordial Yin Fruit’ offered by the Heart-devouring Insect and drawing it back into the cave mansion.
"The master needn’t worry; mere three spiritual objects are trivial, few beasts in this mountain can rival me!"
The Heart-devouring Insect manipulated the white snake to rise, speaking confidently.
It’s a Heaven-Earth Exotic Species, nurtured by Gu Yuan, having devoured the Divine Soul and Qi Blood of numerous Great Demons. Its cultivation has grown exceedingly fast, and since most beasts in Demon Origin Mountain are fierce but not highly intelligent, few demons can thwart its "residence."
Naturally, it boasts unabashedly.
"Then go,"
Gu Yuan didn’t refute, acknowledging the Heart-devouring Insect indeed possessed notable strength now.
"Boom!"
Amid the conversation between man and demon, a dense Demon Qi suddenly erupted from the celestial vault far away.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered swiftly, even from afar, one could feel its overwhelming presence.
"Is this a Celestial Tribulation?"
"How did this happen?"
"How could it be so soon, already confident enough to pass through Tier Four Demon Tribulation directly?!"
Seeing the rapidly coagulating demon clouds, the Heart-devouring Insect couldn’t help but withdraw its head in shock.
In its cultivation journey, it has devoured many demons’ memories, and these are insights into centuries of cultivation. Combined with its inherently high spiritual wisdom, it instantly guessed the opponent’s intent.
"It must be a conspiracy among the Demon Race, unifying treasures to offer one demon in advance to pass the great trial!"
Within Demon Origin Mountain, the situation is urgent.
The Demon Race seizes realm-breaking items, and the Human Race does too. Demon Origin Mountain holds numerous treasures and vast terrain; if a human prodigy steps into a Daoist Embryo first, the tide would turn unfavorable. It’s better to unite and nurture a Demon King first.
Although the specifics of the Demon Race’s scheme remain unknown, it’s likely not far from the truth.
From within the cave mansion, a long sigh echoed.
