Chapter 1368: Chapter 1372: Scouring the Jiao’s Nest

It’s the Pupil Domain!!

The Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor hadn’t entered the Undersea Maze Cave at all. It had stepped into a Dragon Pupil Illusion long prepared by the Nine Kun Dragons!

Within that illusion, nine layers of fiery seas roared and surged. Dragons feared flames above all, and nine different types of Divine Fire, Yin Fire, Curse Flame, and Holy Flame roasted it mercilessly in turn.

The Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor could never have imagined why its lair had transformed into a Demon Fire Purgatory. It had no place to rest, as its body and soul were scorched endlessly, driving it to the brink of despair!

Ultimately, unable to endure the torment, the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor dragged its half-mutilated body out of the maze cave. It wasn’t until it regained some clarity and tried to assess its surroundings that it realized it had been deceived by the Nine Kun Dragons’ Fox Clan Charm Technique!

Though it was indeed an illusion, the physical and spiritual burns it suffered were excruciatingly real. Now, it had completely lost its once magnificent form, reduced to an ugly, grotesque sea worm—still with only half its body intact.

"Sssssssss!!!!!!"

The Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor was still unwilling to give up. It let out a deep growl bursting with hatred and prepared to unleash the last of its strength.

The Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor suddenly detonated what little flesh remained on its body, revealing its Serpent Bone. The thin, sharp bones resembled sinister, bone-white poisonous needles, each bristling like the barbs of a venomous sea creature!

"What the... Is this creature part sea urchin or something?!" Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but exclaim in shock upon witnessing this.

A body entirely covered in toxic bone needles—dense and foreboding, as though the spawn of a sea urchin and a moray eel!

Transformed into this terrifying form, the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor recklessly charged forward, willing to perish alongside the Nine Kun Dragons!

The Nine Kun Dragons naturally recognized the danger of its poisonous bones. These venomous spines originated from deep within the emperor’s body; even a mere scratch could cause one’s entire body to fester and rot. To be simultaneously pierced by multiple spines would lead to poison spreading so rapidly, not even a god could survive!

There was no way the Nine Kun Dragons would face the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor’s current form head-on.

Using its Leaky Moon Shadow Fox Technique, the Nine Kun Dragons unfurled its splendid, colorful fur coat, which shimmered like a divine scroll. Soon, the ocean around them transformed into a breathtaking tapestry of vibrant waves—formed by the Nine-Tailed Dragon’s resplendent, infinite fur. It resembled the iridescent, cloud-like seas of an underwater paradise!

Evade its edge!

This was a tactic the Nine Kun Dragons had learned when dealing with Suppressing Beasts: there was no need to confront an opponent at their most feral and powerful. Even a cornered rabbit bites, let alone an enraged Dragon Immortal Emperor. Should all those toxic bone needles pierce it, even a Moon Radiance God Dragon two cultivation stages higher wouldn’t escape death!

The Nine Kun Dragons opted for a strategic retreat—not a sign of self-doubt, but a testament to its rationality and calm judgment.

At this moment, it resembled a seasoned hunter, slowly wearing down its prey. A dying struggle often resulted in immense destruction, but the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor had expended its final strength. Once this desperate frenzy passed, it would be vulnerable and at death’s door.

Hiding within the vibrant, silky sea of fur, the Nine-Tailed Dragon quietly observed the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor.

Occasionally, it would intentionally expose a flaw, giving the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor the illusion of a chance to counterattack. But each time, it was merely one of the Nine Kun Dragons’ afterimages.

With its wounds worsening, stamina depleting, and Divine Soul fading, the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor became increasingly disoriented. It even mistook the Nine Kun Dragons’ Celestial Damask for its main body, giving chase only to suffer further wounds from the damask’s sharp edges. Blood spilled continuously, dyeing the underwater world a gorgeous yet fearful coral-red hue.

The Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor’s blood was incredibly thick. Just a single drop could spread across an entire area. Gradually, the entire sea became a blood-soaked basin, an absolutely terrifying sight.

As the blood seeped more and more, the Nine Kun Dragons didn’t even need to deliver a final blow. The Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor wore itself down until not a trace of vitality remained. The vital blood within its body became uncontrollable, gushing out in torrents.

The reddening intensified, taking on the eerie vibrancy of coral hues. The underwater world transformed into a crimson pool of blood!

Zhu Minglang gazed at the lifeless corpse of the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor and slowly approached.

This was his first time hunting a Moon Radiance Level target, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. After all, Little Xian Tail had grown from a mere Fox Spirit into the current Nine Kun Dragons under his guidance.

He began the process of Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing. The Soul Bead of this Moon Radiance Dragon was vastly different from previous ones, crystallizing entirely into a Luminous Pearl-like gem. This made the brewing process significantly more challenging...

At the Moon Radiance Stage, these ancient monsters’ Divine Souls had their own will. Even as lingering spirits after death, they retained some level of lethality.

Zhu Minglang spent quite some time on this but eventually realized his Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing technique had dulled. He ended up crafting a lower-grade Moon Radiance God Child Level Soul Bead, worth roughly a sixth of a high-quality one.

Such a low-grade bead was probably only marginally good enough for the Star God’s Six Divine Cleansing, and only those utterly desperate would choose such a low-quality material for their purification ritual.

In any case, he figured he ought to practice his crafting more. If he could grasp the Spirit Key, it would be best to enhance the strength of his hands, imbuing his palm lines with greater soul-harvesting power.

"Woo woo~~~~~"

At that moment, Little Jiuwei let out a cry, prompting Zhu Minglang to pay attention to the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor’s blood.

Upon closer inspection, Zhu Minglang noticed peculiar blood spots within the thick, congealed blood. These seemed to be toxic substances.

Yet oddly enough, the toxic spots didn’t dissolve into the seawater. Instead, they drifted downward like grains of sand.

At first, Zhu Minglang thought the blood spots would settle on the seafloor, but to his surprise, they floated toward the maze cave with a purposeful direction.

Curious, Zhu Minglang decided to follow them. After all, many people had claimed the Undersea Maze Cave itself harbored a massive treasure.

The Serpent Emperor was a Female Dragon, so its collection was bound to be extraordinary.

"Don’t eat that! It’s poisonous... Wait, do you have a death wish?!" Zhu Minglang exclaimed, only to find that Little Glutton had already devoured the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor, even going back to retrieve the severed part to swallow it too.

Was it that desperate for food??

Did it not fear being poisoned to death?!

"Hic~~~~~"

Little Glutton let out a burp, exhaling faintly pink, toxic fumes.

Soon, spots of discoloration began to spread across its Bronze Skin, forming intricate floral patterns, as if an ancient artifact had been etched with colorful designs. It clashed markedly with Little Glutton’s otherwise imposing appearance, making it look strangely peculiar.

"Awooo~~~"

Master, I’ve been poisoned!!

"You still ate it, knowing it’s toxic! Things like this are generally not edible!" Zhu Minglang scolded irritably.

"Awoo~~"
