Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1427 Liu Ying's Tribulation (Part 1)

Luonan Kingdom, Pangshe Mountain Range.

Amidst the endless mountain ranges, streaks of spirit boats of various colors traversed the landscape, all accelerating rapidly in the same direction.

At this moment.

One of the white spirit boats suddenly shone brightly with spiritual light, and beams of light shone out, intertwining to form a pair of enormous wings.

Whoosh!
The enormous phantom wings flapped rapidly, and the white spirit boat visibly broke away from the numerous spirit boats chasing behind it.

"Activate the Spirit Wings with all your might and break free from the entanglement of those major forces!"

Inside the white spirit boat, the cultivators dressed in white robes with silver patterns all looked extremely excited.

For this operation, they even brought out their sect's most prized treasure—the White Spirit Cloud Boat.

"Sect Master, there really is a patch of Life Essence Golden Transformation Grass in that area!"

One of the elderly men in white robes couldn't help but speak up.

The others couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man in the lead.

Such rare and precious items are of immense value, being among the best treasures for repairing physical injuries. If there were truly a piece of Life Essence Golden Transformation Grass, even a high-ranking Nascent Soul True Monarch might be tempted.

"That's absolutely true!"

The sect leader of the Silver Cloud Sect nodded solemnly: "Yue'er discovered it herself, and he is currently hiding in that area to heal his injuries!"

"But wasn't that area already shrouded in that terrifying poisonous fog? How did you manage to get in, my nephew?"

Faced with everyone's questions, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated and told the whole story.

"Yue'er originally went into the depths of the Pangshe Mountains with several other talented disciples from major sects to search for the Dragon Blood Grass in preparation for Core Formation. However, after entering the depths, she discovered that the terrifying poisonous fog that had previously shrouded the sky and earth had quietly receded in some areas, revealing numerous spiritual treasures hidden in the exposed space."

In an instant, the crowd, who had been excited, all became serious.

The fact that the major sects' teams were constantly chasing after them proved that news of this important matter had been leaked, and that they were not the only ones who knew about it. This trip was bound to be an extremely fierce battle.

"Sect Master, could this news have leaked to higher levels?"

The old man who spoke first said in a low voice.

"Absolutely possible!"

A hint of tension flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Therefore, we must act even faster, and ideally, retreat quickly before the drastic changes here are fully exposed, to avoid being drawn into the conflicts between those Nascent Soul sects."

As time goes by.

A strange world appeared at the edge of heaven and earth.

It is also a range of mountains, but it seems as if an unimaginable mysterious force divides the distant world into a boundary, and the deepest part of the world is filled with deathly silence and stillness.

In the distance, one could vaguely see a faint green hidden deep within that desolate world.

At this moment, no one cared about the potential dangers that might exist in the distant world.

In that desolate world, all sorts of spiritual creatures grew, as if it were a silent, blessed land where no one had ever been.

Countless streaks of light of various colors pierced the heavens and earth, rushing towards that treasure land that no one had ever set foot on before.

Meanwhile, several sects that had received prior notice ignored the numerous treasures on the outskirts and each headed straight for the depths of the world.

One fierce battle after another shattered the former tranquility.

Throughout history, whenever a treasure or opportunity appears in the world, it is bound to be accompanied by brutal battles and fights.

The path to immortality is destined to be built upon countless bones.

"Put down the treasure!"

In a secluded valley, two Golden Core cultivators fought to the death, their spiritual lights colliding and creating a tremendous roar.

At this moment, both of them were looking greedily at a ten-foot-tall crimson treasure tree deep in the valley, on which hung plump crimson spiritual fruits of immense value.

At the height of the battle.

One of the men, dressed in red robes and with eagle-eyed eyes, suddenly raised his hand, and several crimson fireballs shot into the sky. Boom! Boom! The two magical artifacts instantly turned into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

"Damn it, you made me waste this life-saving Flame Burst Bead!"

The eagle-eyed man didn't even have time to pick up the storage bag his opponent had dropped before rushing toward the crimson treasure tree.

Just as he was rapidly approaching the treasure, he suddenly saw several crimson jade snakes, as if carved from crystal, rush out from the depths of the ground.

"Oh no, it's the Crimson Jade Serpent!"

Even though those few demonic snakes didn't exude strong auras, the eagle-eyed man retreated rapidly with fear in his eyes.

Although those second-tier demonic snakes were weak, they were highly poisonous. Their venom was specifically designed to target the soul, and even a Golden Core cultivator would find it difficult to withstand once hit.

More importantly, these kinds of venomous snakes are always gregarious creatures.

Before the thought could even surface in his mind.

But what they saw was that the once peaceful ground had instantly turned into a snake pit.

More crimson phantoms surrounded them from all directions, and a huge serpent body, several meters in size, also soared into the sky from the depths of the valley.

"Mid-stage third tier!"

The eagle-eyed man's face showed despair: "My life is over!"

With his current strength, he has no way to escape from this snake pit. His most relied-upon trump card was also used up in the battle just now.

At this critical moment.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
A series of frenzied roars, like those of snakes and dragons, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

That ancient roar seemed to emanate from the depths of heaven and earth, enveloping the world.

The man with eagle eyes felt his soul trembling uncontrollably, and even in this desperate situation, he was unable to control his dazed state.

"no no!"

An unprecedented will to survive forced him back to his senses.

However, to his surprise, his predicament took an unexpected turn for the better. The demonic snakes in the entire snake cave were even more pathetic than he was. Even the leading mid-stage third-tier snake king was now lying on its demonic body, trembling as if it had lost its fighting power.

"Walk?"

Having narrowly escaped death, the eagle-eyed man, seeing his surroundings, felt greed rekindle in his heart.

The crimson tree in the distance, like the inner demons he had experienced, kept tempting him, and even its spiritual light seemed to shine brighter.

"With this incredible opportunity, I can not only advance to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, but I might even have a chance to glimpse the legendary Nascent Soul realm!"

The immense temptation once again made him give up his chance to escape.

He charged madly toward the crimson treasure.

However, just as he was about to take action...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! Boom!
The snakes, which were originally in the air, seemed to be controlled by an unknown force and fell down, crashing into the valley.

Even the third-tier snake king fell from the sky, crashing into the valley and creating a deep crater.

This bizarre scene caused the eagle-eyed man to stop again.

"what happens?"

Just as he looked up, he saw a huge shadow already covering the valley.

call!call!
The oppressive aura of a fourth-tier demon king descended.

That was a large, fourth-tier green snake demon king.

The eagle-eyed man felt as if the power within his body had been frozen, and could only watch helplessly as a cloud of poisonous mist swept towards him.

at the same time.

In this mysterious world that has been reborn.

Just as countless cultivators were engaged in a frenzied battle, a new crisis was unfolding. Two fourth-tier demon kings were roaming freely across the land, devouring any cultivators they encountered along the way.

Deep within the poisonous land of Teng.

Woo! Woo! Woo!
A series of frenzied growls, resembling snakes and dragons, rang out continuously, but as if deliberately controlled, the roars did not continue.

At this moment.

Two enormous demonic figures, each radiating fourth-order pressure, appeared one after the other.

One was a green snake demon king, two or three hundred feet tall but incredibly thick, and the other was also a green snake demon king, but its demon body was even more extensive and enormous.

Just as the two demon kings reunited, a dragon's roar came from afar.

A colossal dragon, covered in jet-black scales and slick with venom, swooped down, instantly enveloping the heavens and earth in a massive wave of corrosive energy.

"Let them out!"

The leading venomous dragon demon king let out a low roar.

A large number of figures fell from its mouth, mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators with some Golden Core cultivators.

The other two Green Serpent Demon Kings also continuously spat out numerous figures of cultivators from their mouths.

"Now, the only way to help our master overcome this calamity is through this method!"

At this moment, a hint of human-like tension simultaneously appeared deep within the demonic eyes of the three demon kings.

"Don't hesitate!"

The Poisonous Flood Dragon King roared, and streams of black poisonous mist quickly condensed into chains, binding together the countless unconscious figures below.

Then, the three demon kings, carrying numerous spoils of war, rushed into the depths of the deep green world.

It was shrouded in layers of deep green clouds that seemed to be engulfing the heavens and the earth.

A bottomless cavern lies within.

Those ancient, frenzied roars came from the depths of the cave.

An unprecedentedly malevolent aura transformed into a surging torrent, as if some ancient ferocious beast were about to burst forth at any moment.

You can only see it by looking down.

A colossal phantom, nearly a thousand feet tall, completely covered the entire underground cavern.

It was an ancient snake with a grayish-white body and a pair of emerald green fleshy wings that blotted out the sky. With each flap of those wings, endless strange and ancient patterns emerged from the depths of the wings.

Below the phantom, a figure covered in strange scales struggled and twisted its body frantically.

Meanwhile, the three demon kings had already appeared above the cave.

The three demon kings exchanged glances, and the tension deep within their demonic eyes became increasingly apparent.

However, the leading venomous dragon demon king did not hesitate to throw the countless imprisoned cultivators directly into the depths of the cave.

As figures fell one after another.

The eerie figure, its body covered in twisting and struggling scales, suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of cold, vertical pupils filled with madness and savagery.

As the cultivators continued to fall, the strange, scaled figure, like a wild beast spotting its prey, had a flash of crimson and excitement in the depths of its pupils.

Whoosh! !

The eerie, scaled figure suddenly soared into the sky and arrived in front of an unconscious Golden Core cultivator.

As his mouth opened slightly, his fine, sharp teeth began to gleam with a chilling white light.

But just as it opened its mouth, its vertical pupils, which were full of madness and tyranny, suddenly became chaotic, and a faint struggle quickly emerged.

Looking at the face of the woman who was a Golden Core cultivator, her struggle grew even stronger.

"No!"

"Do not!!"

"I, Liu Ying, am not a demon beast, but a demon cultivator!"

"I am human, how can I devour my own kind!"

A muffled sound began to emerge from that mouth full of sharp teeth.

"If I were to become a monstrous beast that threatens the world, I would rather die!"

A clear, angry roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Deep within those vertical pupils, once filled with savagery and madness, a trace of calm humanity finally returned.

The scales covering his entire body vanished instantly, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a somewhat refined appearance.

Relying on her long-cultivated and unwavering Dao heart, Liu Ying forcibly suppressed her body's desire and instinct to penetrate deeper, and her figure rushed out of the cave.

Countless cultivators who had fallen into the cave were simultaneously sent flying out, falling towards the outer world.

"You are disobeying my orders!"

Liu Ying's vertical pupils, filled with indifference and murderous intent, looked down at him.

But all that could be seen were the three enormous demon kings lying prostrate on the ground, trembling.

This was the first time they had felt the ruthless killing intent from their owner.

Moreover, the trembling deep within their demonic souls confirmed that their master truly intended to annihilate their divine soul imprints at any time.

You should know that the owner has always been gentle and kind to people. Not to mention being very kind to the three of them, he is always sincere to a stranger.

But now, the owner has truly developed a murderous intent towards them.

Of course, all three of them understood that their previous actions had already crossed their master's bottom line.

"Master, we just want to help you out of this predicament!"

The leading venomous dragon demon king cried out in despair.

"The law of heaven and earth dictates that only the fittest survive. Even the strongest among humans have slaughtered countless people. Why should you, Master, be concerned about kinship?"

"Master, we have no ulterior motives; we only hope that you can overcome this calamity."

Daqing and Xiaoqing, who were standing to the side, also pleaded.

Looking at the three beast pets that had accompanied him for thousands of years, now trembling with fear, Liu Ying's murderous intent subsided somewhat.

"The three of you have been with me for so long, you should understand my path of cultivation!"

"Devouring one's own kind is not only the bottom line of my cultivation, but also my choice on the path of the Great Dao!"

Even if we manage to survive this ordeal, what about the future?

At this moment, Liu Ying's eyes revealed an unprecedented determination: "Once we start relying on human bloodline to suppress the chaos within our bodies, it will be a path of no return, and there will be no chance to turn back!"

"I don't want to become a monster that only knows how to kill!"

"By then, they will have gained immense power, and this will inevitably cause even greater harm!"

This was not entirely out of kindness or compassion, but rather part of his spiritual practice.

As a demon cultivator, he had long known the difficulty of this path. Countless predecessors were ultimately influenced by powerful bloodlines, their souls were eroded, and they were transformed into demons who only knew how to kill, endangering the world.

Therefore, from the very beginning of his cultivation, he resolved to suppress the influence of his bloodline with his own will.

For this reason, he even wasted over a thousand years of his life, sealing his cultivation and entering the mortal realm to dissipate the resentment deep within his bloodline.

"Let's go!"

The next moment, Liu Ying gently waved her hand, and the marks left deep in the souls of the three beast pets naturally collapsed.

"I don't know if we can survive this ordeal. If things get out of control, the three of you will be the first to perish at my hands!"

"Now that you have all reached the fourth rank, it is time for you to depart and each pursue your own path to enlightenment."
