Chapter 506: Chapter 504: Turn Against Each Other (Seeking Subscription) _1

Valley God Secret Realm.

"Gugua!"

The Five Fire Worm stood on its four feet, each stepping on a clump of Demon Fire, the radiance of the Bone-Melting Blood Flame, Red Lotus Devil Fire, Mysterious Corpse Flame, and Ten Thousands Poisonous Demon Flame scintillating with an aura of destruction.

Although it was eager to head to a certain place, under Fang Xi’s strict order, it had no choice but to search for the aura of the underground Blood River.

Finally...

The inflamed red eyes of the White Jade Toad suddenly brightened, letting out an exuberant cry, opening its huge mouth wide.

Pu!

A clump of ’Tri-Yang Demon Fire’ shot out from its gaping maw, the flames powerful enough to melt gold and dissolve stone struck down upon the pitch-black earth. Instantaneously, it began to scorch, turning rock into magma and seeping downwards.

Whirl!

At last... a large, edge-glowing hole emerged, numerous fractured rocks mixed with magma plummeting into a Blood River.

"Gugua!"

The Five Fire Worm croaked a few times before diving headfirst into it.

Splash! A massive White Jade Toad landed in the Blood River, causing numerous ripples and waves.

Hiss-hiss!

The splashing blood water that fell on the cave rocks around emitted a dense corroding noise, creating a multitude of fine pores.

Such terrifyingly corrosive blood water seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the gnarled skin of the White Jade Toad.

The White Jade Toad floated leisurely on the Blood River, swimming with ease, and even wide open its mouth to gulp down the True Blood River Water thirstily.

"This True Blood River Water... it seems to be a favorite delicacy for some worms?"

Fang Xi thought to himself, and a Jade Gourd flew out, which upon being infused with a Magic Spell by him, immediately opened its stopper, voraciously absorbing the True Blood River Water.

He had forgotten which Cultivator’s Storage Bag he had rummaged this gourd from, but it was a third-tier mystical artifact, whose sole purpose was to contain various types of Spirit Water, and it had quite a large capacity.

Gurgle-gurgle!

A whirlpool emerged from within the Blood River, as massive amounts of river water, like numerous blood-red Flood Dragons, were continuously sucked into the belly of the Jade Gourd.

Whirl!

Suddenly, a section of the Blood River water exploded, revealing a dark serpentine shadow inside.

The snake was entirely crimson with wings on its back, launching towards Fang Xi to attack!

"As expected... within this Blood River, there live some worms."

With just a glance, Fang Xi recognized that the aura of this winged snake was unusual; it was not a Monster beast but a special kind of worm!

"Gugua!"

Before the Snake Worm could make its move, the Five Fire Worm’s tongue swept out, and then it disappeared without a trace...

Compared to these wild Yellow, Mysterious, and even Earth-grade worms, the White Jade Toad, already a Sky-grade worm, clearly had the upper hand.

"Taiyi, perform a comparative analysis..."

Fang Xi took out the "Taiyi Sutra," and a light screen appeared. On it, a scene from a mirage in the outside world began to replay.

That was the moment a strange shadow in the Blood River flickered and vanished!

After "Taiyi’s" incessant pausing, analyzing, and completing... eventually, the shape of the shadow was largely restored.

It was a huge bat seemingly made of fresh blood, with a strange blood-colored stone in its belly from which countless blood vessel-like runes emerged, fused into the bat’s body.

"Blood River Stone... already possessing a certain sentience, able to transform into a blood bat..."

Needless to say, this Blood River Stone was definitely of superior quality!

As the "Taiyi Sutra" continued to operate, it even depicted a rough map of that section of the Blood River, marking Fang Xi’s current location and several places where the blood bats appeared.

"It doesn’t seem to be far, let’s go!"

Fang Xi stepped on the Five Fire Worm, and the White Jade Toad immediately let out a "gugua" and began to swim forward in the Blood River...

...

In front of the Nine Hearts Qingjing Bamboo forest.

The bamboo shadows swayed, the layers of green Prohibitions being eroded away by the Magic Powers of two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, leaving only a thin layer remaining.

"Ha!"

With a roar from Lord Hei Xuan, Magic Power surged around him, transforming into a pitch-black dragon that infused into a dark iron ring.

Symbols on the iron ring flickered incessantly, evidently a highly potent spiritual treasure.

At that moment, black flames continuously emerged, landing on the Prohibition.

Crack!

As time rapidly passed, the thin layer of Prohibition could endure no longer. After emitting a cry of being overburdened, it finally burst open with a bang and scattered as spiritual energy.

"Haha... finally, it has been accomplished!"

Lord Hei Xuan’s face beamed with joy as he stepped forward to pluck the Nine Hearts Qingjing Bamboo.

His cheeks were slightly pale, clearly an indication of overexertion of Magic Power.

Even so, two black Flood Dragons continued to coil around him, the ’Black Dragon Body Protection Skills’ never ceasing to operate.

This was not because Lord Hei Xuan was guarding against Master Biyu but because one must always be cautious within the Secret Realm!

This was also the prudence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Without such caution in his youth, he would have never ascended to Nascent Soul.

This ’Black Dragon Body Protection Secret Skill’ had refined the souls of two third-tier top-quality Flood Dragons, having undergone secret sacrificial refining as well.

Even if he encountered a surprise attack from a mid-Nascent Soul stage Cultivator, he could at the very least defend himself for a moment!

And just as Lord Hei Xuan let his guard down slightly in elation at having finally broken through the Prohibition...

A jade ruler roared and struck heavily against his back!

Roar!

A black Flood Dragon let out a mournful cry, actually annihilated by a single strike from the emerald jade ruler!

Lord Hei Xuan staggered several steps from the impact and with a gesture, his iron ring spiritual treasure protected him, and only then did he incredulously turn around.

He saw Master Biyu retracting his jade ruler, his face full of regret.

"Master Biyu, do you intend to betray the Black Dragon Sect?"

Lord Hei Xuan exclaimed in shock and anger, barking out the question.

"No, the one clearly betraying the Black Dragon Sect is you, Sir."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Master Biyu’s mouth as he unleashed a surge of magic power.

The emerald jade ruler suddenly split into two, each bursting with intense emerald green light, striking heavily against the iron ring spiritual treasure.

The emerald green light entangled with the black flames, and Lord Hei Xuan soon showed signs of faltering.

His face turned pale as he quickly took out a bottle of elixir from his chest, extracted a blood-red pill from it, and swallowed it hastily.

At the same time he swallowed the elixir.

Boom!

The iron ring spiritual treasure vibrated and was actually sent flying by the emerald jade ruler!

"What?"

Lord Hei Xuan was taken aback, then saw that cracks also appeared on Master Biyu’s jade ruler spiritual treasure, and he couldn’t help but change color, "You actually used a secret skill directly, not even sparing your own spiritual treasure from self-destructing, just to kill me... I have no grievances with you..."

"Too much nonsense!"

Master Biyu’s expression turned fierce, a stark contrast to his previous gentlemanly image.

With a flash of emerald light, he was already in front of Lord Hei Xuan, his right hand opened wide.

With a flash, his right hand instantly transformed into the claw of a Kylin, covered in emerald green scales that emitted a chilling light.

Roar!

The only remaining black Flood Dragon around Lord Hei Xuan was torn to shreds by the Kylin’s claw.

The claw’s momentum did not diminish, directly landing on Lord Hei Xuan, shredding his flesh to pieces.

Not far away, a flash of black light revealed Lord Hei Xuan’s Nascent Soul, clutching an iron ring and staring at Master Biyu with a face full of shock and rage: "You are a Monster Clan spy!"

This Master Biyu normally appeared to be in the early stages of Nascent Soul, but when he actually made a move, Lord Hei Xuan suffered a great loss.

At that moment, a sweep of Divine Consciousness revealed an aura of a middle-stage transformed Monster Clan, which was quite alarming.

"Even Lord Black Sky of the Black Dragon Sect has surrendered to our Monster Clan, and you, an insignificant early-stage Nascent Soul, dare to resist the general trend, aren’t you seeking your own death?!"

Master Biyu smiled slightly and instantly revealed his true form, which was a Biyu Kylin.

The Biyu Kylin opened its mouth, and a beam of light flew out, transforming into an ancient-looking little tower.

The tower was entirely grey-white, as if made of some stony material, but the base bore a layer of dark red color.

Wave!

The surrounding void undulated mysteriously, and Lord Hei Xuan’s Nascent Soul was horrified to discover that it could no longer instantly teleport!

"To die under this ’Devil-locking Tower’ is also your honor."

Master Biyu snorted coldly, and with a flash of the Devil-locking Tower, it arrived above Lord Hei Xuan’s Nascent Soul, casting a grey-white light down upon him.

Lord Hei Xuan’s face wore an expression of fear, and his Nascent Soul was completely unable to resist and was taken into the ’Devil-locking Tower’.

"What a pity, this Devil-locking Tower was only hastily refined and its foundation is mediocre, with no hope of advancing to the fifth tier..."

Master Biyu retracted the Devil-locking Tower, once again taking on the appearance of a chivalrous Human Cultivator, even his aura returning to early-stage Nascent Soul.

As an undercover agent of the Five Elements Qilin Tribe, he naturally knew the Biyi Universal Skills, and furthermore, the previously used ’Devil-locking Tower’ was a Treasure of Void he had crafted for his feigned magical dantian!

The method to refine the ’Devil-locking Tower’ was detailed in the ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics,’ and it even had the potential to reach the fifth tier.

However, achieving such a feat would require a Blood Sacrifice of tens of thousands of Monster Blood, something not even Master Biyu could accomplish.

Fortunately, after refining the ’Devil-locking Tower’ to the level of a spiritual treasure, it was able to contain his entire Monster Qi, which was already enough.

The corners of Master Biyu’s mouth curved up slightly as he prepared to step forward to destroy this patch of Nine Hearts Qingjing Bamboo.

"Amitabha!"

Just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly sounded, causing his face to change dramatically, and without hesitation, he activated a certain secret skill that allowed a circle of emerald green energy to swirl around him.

But it was already too late.

A golden hand inscribed with countless Sanskrit characters and radiating dazzling light, forming a certain hand seal, pierced through the emerald energy and struck Master Biyu.

"Ah!"

Struck by the attack, Master Biyu reverted to his Kylin form, with one of his front paws vanishing into thin air.

In the midst of his cries, blood runes suddenly appeared around him, enveloping his entire body and allowing him to turn into a streak of blood light and flee.

"He managed to escape?"

With a flash of golden light, Master Golden Light’s figure appeared, though he did not seem too discouraged.

After all, Master Biyu was a peak mid-tier fourth-grade Biyu Kylin, and he possessed an incredibly powerful Treasure of Void. If it hadn’t been for the sudden ambush, Master Golden Light wouldn’t have even been able to inflict serious injuries.

Fortunately, he had embedded a tracking secret skill within the other party using that strike with the Buddhist hand.

He only needed to harvest the Nine Hearts Qingjing Bamboo, and then he could track the fugitive using the secret skill.

Master Golden Light was confident in his Buddhist teachings and believed that even though the other was of the Monster Clan with a powerful body, having been heavily wounded by his attack, the condition could only worsen and not improve; thus, he would have plenty of time to act.

"To encounter so many Spiritual Roots in this place must be a destiny connected with my Buddha."

Master Golden Light retracted his golden Buddhist hand spiritual treasure, approached the bamboo grove, brought his hands together, and bowed with sincere devotion.
