Chapter 561: Chapter 423: Digging the Demon Ancestor’s Grave! (4K+ Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The snow is getting heavier!

Outside Chuanzhong Pass, on a hill, three figures as straight as blades appeared one by one, gazing into the direction of the city walls.

The fierce wind carried the snow like raging tides, roaring across this border cut by Li Daojian, where a few lamps on the city walls bent harshly in the storm but never extinguished.

Suddenly, a muffled rumbling sound came from afar, akin to thunder rolling from the horizon, booming and moving.

Following closely, the heavy city gate cranked open with a low sound.

The next second, the thunder blossomed at the gate, tens of thousands of iron cavalry surged forward like a black torrent, pouring out of the city massively. The iron hooves of the war horses stepped on the snow, swiftly rushing out a patch of mud, while the Iron Armor Cold Light on their backs glistened and the black flags with golden edges flapped loudly in the fierce wind, like black wings.

Under their iron helmets, pairs of stern eyes emitted cold radiance, tearing through the long, snowy night and roaring out of the city!

Ninth Mountain thus moved its troops south!

On a distant hill, atop Enlightenment Mountain, Martial Vault Yangshan watched the black steel torrent sweeping southward, his eyes blazing, "We should get moving too!"

Saying this, he transformed into a cold star soaring high, plunging into the snowstorm, followed by Ling Yunzi and Zhao Quan who stepped forward simultaneously, brisk and decisive.

At this time, among the flood of iron-armored soldiers, at the forefront of the team, an old general with a goatee, wearing Green Armor, blended into the flow. Holding the horse reins with one hand, he slightly hunched forward, while his other hand transformed into a sword, acting as a brush, muttering spells, and writing magically in the snowstorm. Each stroke left behind luminous small characters which brightly appeared and then vanished into the air.

It was as if keys in the void illuminated some characters and then extinguished!

And these extinguished characters did not disappear; they dove into another Nihility Color Realm. These characters composed of the Power of Incense transformed into threads of golden light, crossing thousands of mountains and waters in this void at unbelievable speed, headed to another location.

The next second, thousands of miles away at Xianti Mountain, there was a massive volcano spanning dozens of miles in diameter. Below its boiling magma, a pair of terrifying blue triangular snake eyes suddenly opened wide.

A bluish Hooked Snake, about ten yards long, was spewing a thread of golden flames, turning into a raging fire that wrapped around a massive object. All around, the magma presented a horrific deep purple with a touch of golden streaming fire.

The temperature here reached a terrifying level, the deep purple magma could incinerate even Martial Vault’s body.

But the blue Hooked Snake, about ten yards long, stayed inside as if it was nothing. At this moment, it spewed golden flames, consuming an object.

That object was clearly the corpse of a fierce beast, with bones as crystalline as white jade, measuring only fifty to sixty yards long, adorned with a pair of horns on its head and hooks on its tail. The surface of the crystalline bone bore threads of gold, imbued with formidable vitality and pressure, resembling flowing beast blood. It was not known what kind of demon’s blood possessed such intense pressure even after death.

Outside these beast bones, layers of flashing prohibitions surrounded the white jade beast bones within the Purple Fire Domain.

But these prohibitions were intruded upon by the blue Hooked Snake!

"The frontline has deployed troops, faster than I anticipated. I need to speed up too!"

At this moment, with the opening of the blue triangular snake eyes, streaks of tiny golden characters flashed like shadowy glimmers within. Subsequently, the snake spoke human language.

It was indeed Chen Yuan who had infiltrated Xianti Mountain last night!

Things progressed smoother than he imagined—he first utilized the Dream Transference Divine Ability to capture a few Spiritual Demon Snakes, extracting some basic information about their tribe. After gaining basic understanding, he killed a Profound Body Realm Hooked Snake in a volcano abode, refined its essence blood, seized its lair, then employed Fetal Transformation Divine Skills to replace it.

Then he patiently awaited, as he had learned that the Hooked Snake tribe regularly dispatched troops to Yin Mountain.

Unexpectedly, within a day, Xianti Mountain’s tribal land rang out a bell, summoning tribesmen, as thousands of Hooked Snakes emerged from various volcanic cavern entrances, ascending against the molten river, converging at the enormous volcano deemed their tribal land.

Chen Yuan transformed into one among them, arriving at this mountain, and witnessed countless huge fierce Hooked Snakes creating havoc, a spectacular sight.

Yet among them, many had yet to awaken their Ancestor Blood or possessed low cultivation, still unopened in intelligence, while he mixed among them, pondering how to infiltrate the tribal land. Suddenly, streams of light surged from the massive volcanic opening.

They were golden snake scales, each as large as a millstone, swiftly descending along the volcanic magma river, swimming to and fro.

As these scales passed by slightly more powerful Hooked Snakes, they dove into the snakes’ bodies, causing the Hooked Snake surfaces to emit faint golden light.

It seemed a kind of choice had been made!

And those clearly not intelligent or with weak demonic energy, the scales merely skipped!

And at that moment, a golden snake scale shot towards the Hooked Snake which Chen Yuan had transformed into. His heart tightened slightly, yet he did not reveal his energy to repel it but allowed the snake scale to transform into faint golden light and burrow into his body.

Once this snake scale entered his body, it was suppressed by his three Divine Treasure loci, along with his Golden Core and Tao Fruit, exuding strands of Mysterious Light, making the refined small drop of Hooked Snake Essence Blood within his body excited. Subsequently, his "snake body" also emitted golden light!
