405: Chapter 404 Candle Dragon King 405: Chapter 404 Candle Dragon King “Kui River’s waves surge high, in Heavenly Ridge demons thrive, if asked where the flat boat goes, at Jiuyou’s end lies my abode…”

The demonic wind stirred, and the singing was loud and clear.

Amidst the Kui River, a flat boat was seen coming through the wind and waves towards Ye Xuan.

On the boat, a cloaked figure was singing loudly, yet an eerie demonic aura enveloped him, giving off an extremely sinister feeling.

“Daoist, where do you hail from, and where are you bound?”

The flat boat bobbed in the waves of the Kui River.

The cloaked figure had a ghastly pale face with bulging eyes that made him seem like a ghost from the Human World, chilling to the core at first glance.

He was now eerily smiling as he posed the question to Ye Xuan.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan was neither a naive believer nor was he intimidated by the sinister appearance of the cloaked man.

He had his own reasons for coming to Heavenly Ridge.

“I’ve heard that Heavenly Ridge houses nine Great Demon Kings, each possessing great divine powers.

I’ve come to meet the nine Demon Kings,” Ye Xuan declared, standing by the riverbank, his voice calm and serene.

“Heh heh!”

The cloaked man chuckled eerily, “Daoist should know that once you enter Heavenly Ridge, you might not leave.

If you’ve truly thought it through, I could take you along for a part of the journey.

Dare you board the boat?”

Whoosh!

A gust of demonic wind rose, the clouds dispersed, and Ye Xuan stepped forward, suddenly standing on the flat boat.

This change caused the cloaked man’s expression to shift slightly.

After giving Ye Xuan a deep look, he chuckled eerily again, “Daoist truly is skilled and bold.”

A bamboo raft pushed through the water, propelling the boat against the wind and waves towards Heavenly Ridge.

Along the way, besides the noisy Kui River, the cloaked man remained silent, while the roars of the demons on both banks of the river gradually quieted down.

“Daoist, have you heard that once you enter Heavenly Ridge, it’s either life or death?

Which do you think pertains to you?”

Suddenly, as the flat boat was in the middle of the Kui River, the cloaked man stopped paddling, the demonic light around him rippled, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan turned even more sinister and chilling.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t talk so much but quietly do my job as a ferryman to keep myself alive,” Ye Xuan replied, his expression unchanged, his voice calm and detached.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the cloaked man’s breath hitched, and then he chuckled, “Daoist is shrouded in Five-Colored Divine Light; it seems your true form is one of the Peacock race.

Unfortunately, you shouldn’t have come to Heavenly Ridge.

I’ve given you a chance earlier, alas you didn’t appreciate it, and today you can only perish in this Kui River.”

Plunge!

Suddenly, the cloaked man turned into a black light and leapt into the Kui River.

At that moment, the previously calm Kui River stirred up enormous waves, furiously crashing down toward Ye Xuan.

Kui River is no ordinary river; its waters can shred the Divine Soul and obliterate the physical body.

Even an Immortal falling into it would meet certain death.

“Mere trifle!”

Ye Xuan scoffed derisively, showing no sign of action, yet his Demon Technique exploded out, the vast demonic light swept across a million li of the heavenly vault, directly suppressing the tumultuous Kui River.

In an instant, heaven and earth could split, and with a word, all things could perish.

As a peak Luotian Golden Immortal, just a step away from becoming a Daluo and possessing many Forbidden Techniques, Ye Xuan’s combat power was terrifyingly unimaginable.

The mere Kui River couldn’t even get close to him, let alone submerge his body and harm him.

“Well boy, you indeed have some skills.”

Suddenly, a dark, angry roar echoed between heaven and earth.

The Kui River once again whipped up towering waves, and within it, a thirty thousand li body of the Candle Dragon twisted, its dreadful demonic light stirring the surroundings, causing the river to be wildly turbulent.

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the Candle Dragon King of the nine Heavenly Ridge Demons, right?” Ye Xuan stood on the flat boat, his voice calm and unrippled.

In the midst of the Kui River, the Candle Dragon King churned the waters as if turning the river on its head, his maniacal laughter resounding at that moment.

“Boy, it seems you have already inquired about my Heavenly Ridge, but regardless of why you have come here, today I will make sure you cannot leave.”

“Roar!”

The dragon’s roar shook the heavens, and demon light surged.

A horrifying beam of demon light spewed from the mouth of the Candle Dragon King, forming a great technique capable of destroying mountains and rivers, launching a hundred-thousand-foot-high wave of water at Ye Xuan.

“Are you seeking death?” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice cold and merciless.

Bang!

Ye Xuan stepped forward, the flat boat under his feet suddenly shattered.

The Five-Colored Divine Light filled the sky and ground, and the demon aura from Heavenly Ridge surged upward.

When Ye Xuan struck with his palm, a million-li-long river of water exploded in all directions, the exploding Five-Colored Divine Light violently blasting the Candle Dragon King away.

“How dare a mere Demon Dragon act recklessly in front of me?”

Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations, Earth Evil Seventy-Two Transformations; these were supreme Taoist Divine Skills, which Ye Xuan had mastered perfectly.

In combination with the Forbidden Secret Method of the Undying Immortal Scripture, he fully transformed into the Innate Divine Ability of the Five-Colored Peacock clan.

Boom!

Ye Xuan’s body glowed; this was the unique Five-Colored Divine Light of the peacock clan.

Although it was just a simulation using Taoist Divine Skills, under the effect of his terrifying cultivation, no one could tell real from fake.

Change!

As the Five-Colored Divine Light faded, Ye Xuan disappeared, only to transform into a ten-thousand-mile-wide Five-Colored Peacock.

The fierce look in its eyes and the brilliantly colorful feathers, along with the earth-shattering Five-Colored Divine Light, made it unbearable to look at directly.

Boom!

Two claws shattered mountains and rivers, and without waiting for the Candle Dragon King to fall into the long river, the Five-Colored Peacock Ye Xuan had transformed into had already seized its body.

The indestructible claws tore through the Candle Dragon King’s scale armor and flesh, eliciting an extremely piteous scream.

“Roar!”

The Divine Dragon swung its tail; its furious roar shook the heavens.

Under Ye Xuan’s terrifying suppression, the Candle Dragon King’s ferocity fully erupted.

It opened its huge, bloody mouth, its foul stench furiously trying to bite Ye Xuan.

Bang!

Suddenly, Ye Xuan transformed again, directly into a towering giant.

Each of his palm strikes, like two Ancient Demon Mountains, furiously smashed down upon the head of the Candle Dragon King.

Bang, bang, bang!

Ye Xuan was brutal and ruthless.

One punch, heavy as a falling star, directly smashed the dragon’s head, covering it in demon blood.

With a sweep of his palm, he grabbed its dragon horns, and with a fierce pull, snapped them off, causing the Candle Dragon King to scream in pain and its eyes to fill with immense terror.

Bang, bang, bang!

His punches were like huge mountains, crushing down.

Transformed into a Primordial Giant, Ye Xuan’s every punch bombed the Candle Dragon King sky-high.

Using both fists and feet, emitting demon light that reached the heavens, he left the Candle Dragon King’s thirty-thousand-mile-long dragon body utterly wrecked.

“Stop, stop!”

Suddenly, as Ye Xuan attacked again, the Candle Dragon King’s body transformed, suddenly morphing back to its previous form of a simple elder, except now he was covered in blood and both of his dragon horns were broken.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Ye Xuan was filled with immense terror.

Buzz!

With a movement of his hand, as if Picking Stars and Holding Moons, Ye Xuan reached out with a palm, and the world twisted around him.

A tremendous pulling force acted upon the Candle Dragon King, drawing this Great Demon into his grasp.
